Likewise, an infinite series of universes that didn’t have to exist cannot explain their own existence without reference to a necessary being that has to exist. These individual universes would still need a being who cannot fail to exist that sustains the whole collection of universes. This being could not be a mere force or universe, because it is the reason space and time exist and thus could not be bound by those things. Because it is necessary, this being couldn’t be created or destroyed—in other words, it would be what you and I call God.
