Multiverses and the nature of creation

I read this post concerning the existence of multiple universes, and the existence of a creator. But of course, it made me think of the story I've been writing. I have a multiple parallel universe story. In fact, my two universes (that I've invented, so far) are very, very close together. But so far, I have not injected the notion of god or a creator.

One of my characters is starting to wonder if their sudden transportation to this alternate universe has a meaning. She speculates about it, apparently trying to reconcile the unknowable, in her mind. Of course, we all want meaning in our lives; she's no different. (And here I am treating a made-up character as if she's real! Well, she is real, she's just not physical.)

I tend to believe everything is simple coincidence. There's no reason for it; it just is. Of course, how we react to what we find and what we do in response to it ... that is where the rubber meets the road. We don't need a reason other than to be able to say: I saw an opportunity, so I took it. We only fail if we don't act, and with everything we have, as well. I'd want my creator to think that way. Who's to say it isn't that way?

So, one of my characters believes that everything is coincidence. The other also pretends to subscribe to this idea, but she still wants there to be something ... more. That they were engaged in time travel experiments without knowing it, and that something went very wrong that they didn't/couldn't predict ... that smacks of "things man wasn't meant to know." As if. The only crime is not using what you have, no matter how it was acquired.

I know my story is made up. I'm leaving all that creator stuff to someone else much smarter.
