Multiverse: ‘Ideas that are not science at all’

“WHILE the single Big Bang model, as different from the fact of the fairly uniform expansion of all observed matter, is losing favor among cosmologists, the perspective of many big bangs, amounting to multiverses that keep popping out of the mythical scalar field, does more than gain in popularity among cosmologists. Within that perspective scientific respectability accrues to ideas that are not science at all. Had any noted cosmologist submitted to a prominent journal an article on the Big Bang as being proof of, or at least a strong pointer to creation out of nothing and in time, he most likely would have faced editorial demands that such details be omitted.”

~Stanley L. Jaki: God and the Cosmologists, Postscript.
