I was looking up reviews up a science fiction movie, and came across a Web site (http://christiananswers.net/home.html) which, in addition to panning the movie, mentioned that the concept of parallel universes is considered to be blasphemy. Hmmm.... the concept may not be true (though modern "string theories" in physics may suggest it is true), but either way, can someone explain to me why it would be considered blasphemous? I can't really imagine....

Another responded:

As a Christian I should have thought the idea of parallel universes was speculative, not blasphemous. Christianity does not deal with other parallel universes God might decide to create to keep Himself busy, but with the issue of the fate of individual men and women in this universe.

In a sense there is at least one parallel universe - a spiritual one. What sort of "structure" it has we have no idea.

If God is infinite He could in theory created other universes as well. For that matter there is no guarantee that before this one existed there were not other universes, nor that after this one there might not be others. If, as Creationists claim, this is a "young" universe, what was God doing before this universe came into being? Playing chess?

The answer is that we don't know. What we do know is that God became human flesh in this universe in the form of Jesus Christ.

I'll worry about parallel universes when we know there are some to worry about, other than the very real "spiritual" universe that does exist, and impinges upon us daily, even if unseen.

It is not for Christians to declare the concept "blasphemous" since God has made no statement one way or the other.

And another:

Could these parallel universes perhaps be the subject of Jesus comment, "In my Father's house are many mansions...John 14:2"
