Unfortunately the argument fails. It fails because there cannot be two identical universes in the way the moderator suggests. Since in Universe A, a person P exists. And in universe A’ it wouldnt be person P, it would be person P’. The moderator isnt understanding the philosophical and logical law of identity actually is. Since I am here typing, even if there were another “identical” universe somewhere with another “identical” “me”, it wouldnt actually be me but another person. My identity would require I was in this universe, not another. “I” cant be in both universes at the same time, the law of identity requires that there is only one of “me”, this argument is supposing there are two.
I agree with the premises of this argument. And the conclusion, but not the logic in between. I feel it is tautological as it states the same thing in a different way. And the title was gimmicky.
Determinism, from different logical deductions, already has a strong case and should already apply to God. No extra steps further needed to be taken.
