Ultimately, an accetance of anything we do not know for sure invokes belief. The multiverse hypothesis requires belief. Belief based on reading and teaching.
In the case of God, the question is answered by the notion that he is seperate to the constraints of the physical universe and therefore not bound by them.
On the other hand, anything within the physical universe IS bound by the laws of the universe. Despite the theorising, nothing physical that exists is uncaused, and there are very real logical problems with time being eternal (regressed).
You’re vigorously trying to dodge the point, but I’m sticking with it. If we can recognize objective morality, we could devise an objective moral system just by asking ourselves what the objective right yes/no answer is for each situation.
You’re not aware of the current state of quantum physics - current as in the last 40 or 50 years. Events without causes most certainly happen.
What, pray tell, are the “very real” logical problems with time being eternal (regressed)? You’re not going to pull out that old notion that “if time has been around infinitely long, then we couldn’t have gotten to this point” are you?
Let see Jastrow’s prrof for a magic sky fairy. I’m not interested in his personal beliefs or assertions.
Yes, Flew was convinced by bogus ID arguments. Flew is a philosopher, not a scientist and didn’t recognize phony science when he saw it. Just so you know, there is no evidence of “design” in DNA. Sorry. If you beg to differ then show what the actual evidence is.
What makes you think you know the will of God? Isn’t that rather arrogant on your part? Didn’t the 9/11 hijackers also think they were doing God’s will? How do you know they weren’t?
Are you saying you don’t see the difference between devising and recognising? And what is an ‘objective yes/no answer for each situation’? Think about it.

1> I am well aware of current quantum physics. Events without causes don’t happen. Further events that have no ‘state’ in which to occurr don’t happen, so the spontaneous arrival of life has more than one problem.
You digress. The abhorrence of child abuse was explained as an evolutionary response to self preservation. This is absurd. Many species harm their young, including humans. Yet we somehow know it to be wrong.
