If you believe in the multiverse (or wormholes or the proverbial balloon) you can't believe the singularity has size, density, matter. It has to be an opening.
I don't follow your logic. Wormholes would be part of this universe. A multiverse would mean there are other universes, perhaps with their own unique set of constants and completely different than ours.

If you believe there is a little ball getting denser and denser until it blows, then there should be one measured singularity out there somewhere.
Don't follow your logic again. Black holes get less dense as they grow more massive, not more dense. As far as I know, black hole density is calculated as mass over the volume enclosed by the event horizon. As mass increases, the radius of the event horizon grows linearly which means the volume grows to the third power. More massive = less density.

It's unprovable what it is. Much like other things, amirite?
What part is unprovable? Do you dispute the fact that black holes exist? Do you disagree that there is something there, that we can measure its mass, and that it interacts with the natural world?

Your attempt to equate this with a belief in god is laughable.

You're conflating the space within the event horizon with the singularity at the very center. The singularity is actually the "black hole." The space within the EH is just sort of like the slide leading into it. It has mass, a charge, and rotation due to how they are formed and/or the rotation of the mass that was pulled in to become the accretion disk.

The event horizon can absolutely be measured and we have many times.

I might as well say God is at the singularity (some people probably do), it'll never be disproven.

Honestly if we found out in our lifetimes, I'd be pretty happy with any of the aforementioned outcomes.
