All it does is restore determinism to physical theory. This is certainly far from an elegant solution. The 'price' is far too high. It makes far more sense to simply accept randomness as real...or else restore determinism in a much more reasonable manner (Hidden Variables).

Actually, I find it very elegant. It explains how a photon can both follow one path and interfear with itself going down another path. When physiscs integrate over all possible paths, they might be doing more than just a useful trick: they might actually be approximating the real process.
Hidden Variables requires faster than light communication, as far as I know.

Certainly we cannot prove that "every possibility happens" is real...but the evidence for this bizzare claim is incredibly tentative, to say the least.

The neat thing is, "every possibility happens" is equivilent to a model with bunches of wierd things going on with wave/particle dualities and special "observers" and lots of other such stuff.
From what little I know of, "every possibility happens" as a model actually makes alot of the wierdness and the undefined observer problem go away in a natural way. It might actually be less strange than the alternatives.

Let us consider that God, being in this equation,is actually in control. We could therefore assume that nothing would happen without His consent as all things happen according to His will. A little deflating, that, when it comes to the human element of wanting to be God, but once God is introduced, He shouldn't be discounted and accidents are no longer really a possibility.

Don't restrict God to the perspective of the single reality.
If Jesus could save both all those that came before and after, he could save all those who aren't even in his reality.
One reality may be as important to God as what a building looks like to a photograph is to an architect. Or even less so, what a building lit under a single frequency of light, through a thin vertical line, at a particular instance, looks like. A sliver of the reality of the full building.
Just as suffering in pain is permitted by God, a reality of suffering may be permitted, for analagous reasons.
You could also take the approach that God is the (multi)verse itself. Or, the approach that God started off this little multiverse, and is just watching. Or, that only 777 people from every single multiverse will ever reach the true heaven. All are at least interesting thought experiments. =)
