I love how you throw philosophy in as a freaking trump card. Wanna know some facts?

We are here, as far as we know.

Not as a trump card, only that philosophers on origins wrestle with pure logic/thought. Its about testing logic, not a scientific principle. For any idea to be accepted by the worlds leading philosophers it needs to be very airtight. So these people who are otherwise geniuses who have never engaged with others on philosophy often go down paths of thought without realizing many of these people weighed those thoughts long ago. The multiverse theory has tons of problems, one of the being it still needs an origin or original cause, but it ignores that reality.
