Here are 3 multiverse theories
1. A "natural" theory that combines higher intelligence and multiverse is hypothesizing that highly intelligent/powerful beings "evolved" naturally somehow in ANOTHER universe and reach the level where they can start Big Bangs and create life! Thus you have an intelligence creating OUR universe.
2. We can play the multiverse game too - God could have made an infinite number of universes (multiverses still need a cause!) just like God made lots of galaxies and we are the lucky or chosen one.
3. or God could have CONCEIVED of all possible universes and created the one where life is lucky enough to evolve naturally to get all the millions of perfect mutations to reach humans. This way we are created AND it's pure chance - the design comes in setting up the chance. Like a film director taking hours of film of a basketball player until he gets the player sinking 20 shots and a row on continuous film and just uses that clip in the movie. It's God USING chance (as he does to get oxygen into our blood and CO2 out).
I agree that multiverse is as untestable with direct scientific empirical observation as the God hypothesis so both are metaphysics - one SOUNDS like science and the other religion but number one above just turned that on its head.
