In fairness, the OP was comparing the merit of a deist creator to the merit of multiverse as an explanation of the cosmological constant.
Does the multiverse theory predict something which can be confirmed with follow-up observations or that is falsifiable in some way? I don't actually know the answer to this, but I've heard a similar criticism of simulation theories. Unless we add some more specific information to the theory, it's not really a scientific theory for that reason. How would a simulated/created universe look?

- dalbasal 9y agoGood point. People using language carefully (as physicists usually do) call it an interpretation for a reason. The OP's point on deism vs multiverse vs simulation (added later in the thread) is actually fairly interesting. Reductio ad deism.
