    I.e all proofs contain assumptions. It's impossible to prove anything with 100% certainty (unless it's plain logic - like 2+2=4).

    It's like dark matter - there are observed things happening in the universe, and a theoretical 'dark matter' solves a whole bunch of them. Therefore dark matter 'makes sense'.

    It seems odd to describe the idea of a multiverse as 'faith', when those people calling it religious-like faith almost certainly couldn't even explain what a universe actually *is*.

      Right, which would make it an hypothesis.

      when those people calling it religious-like faith almost certainly couldn't even explain what a universe actually *is*.
      Indeed, invoking mystical entities that just raise more questions than they resolve.

      It does lend credence to the whole simulation theory of the universe, if true... but that is a big if.
