    Multiverse
In summary, Lee Smolin has changed his mind about the existence of a multiverse, and now believes that it is just an explanatory failure. Smolin argues that we need a new paradigm to do science at the level of the universe as a whole, and that this new principle should be based on the idea that there is only one universe.

I use this as one example why I think the multiverse is not a good way to do science.

Agreed! I like to point out to people that science has made more progress in the last 500 years than philosophy has.
Thank you for taking the time to offer such a thorough reply. You've answered my questions and expanded my thinking a bit.
