   I hit the send button before I wrote anything in my   
   previous post. This is my actual response. Maybe in   
   a different universe I wrote something before I hit   
   the send button?

   If the Multiverse is true, it's all part of God's   
   Creation. But since we're living in this particular   
   universe, this is the one we need to deal with. This   
   is the one that is our reality. There's nothing we   
   can do about any of the others so we might as well   
   focus on the one where we are living our lives.
