The Multiverse explains all. Any time a scientist begins with "Many of us suspect" it is code for 'we sit around and discuss it at the bar.' It is also a logical fallacy, an appeal to authority. The multiverse is instead basically a secular alternative to anthropic divine origin. It's not science, it's not even a theory, because it can't be proved or disproved. 
Evolution does not need a multiverse. It just works. That's a real science theory.

An anthropic focus of the laws of nature is not new - it was not new in 1973 when Cambridge physicist Brandon Carter postulated it at a conference to celebrate the Polish astronomer Copernicus, who said the Earth was not the center of the universe in the 16th century.

Giordano Bruno
was more important to science than Kepler and Galileo.

According to Cosmos, during the dawn of the age of astronomy there was "only one man on the whole planet who envisioned an infinitely grander cosmos, and how was he spending New Years Eve of the year 1600? Why, in prison, of course."

Now we are getting away from the cosmic stuff and into the personal side of science. Who are they talking about? Galileo? Kepler? No, Tyson is talking about Giordano Bruno who, we are told, "couldn't keep his soaring vision of the cosmos to himself" at a time when "there was no freedom of thought."

First, let's examine this freedom of thought concept. Yes, this was the time of The Inquisition, no one is defending that, but most people brought to trial for "heresy" apologized for whatever they did and went on their way. So The Inquisition suppressed freedom of expression, not freedom of thought. Bruno was excommunicated from three different religions, which means two of them accepted him after he had already been excommunicated from the first. If freedom of thought was suppressed, they wouldn't have taken him at all - and two of those religions were Protestants and they really did hate science.  After he is excommunicated over and over, the cartoon shows him getting run out of Oxford also, but he got invited to talk at Oxford. Clearly they were not suppressing freedom of thought if they invited him to talk. What is left out of the very long cartoon - 10 minutes of a 41 minute program is devoted to the story of Bruno - is that Bruno only agreed with Copernicus because he worshiped the Egyptian God Thoth and believed in Hermetism. Both Hermes and Thoth were gods of...magic.

Why would a science program devote 25 percent of its first episode to the persecution of someone who was not a scientist, was not accepted by scientists, and was not persecuted for science, but was instead a martyr for magic? That is a mystery, but science historians can't be happy that Galileo's primary credit to astronomy in Cosmos becomes that he "looked through a telescope, realizing that Bruno had been right all along." Since Bruno was following Hermetism, why didn't Tyson give credit to Hermes Trismegistus and his followers for embracing the universe rather than Bruno?

There is one good thing about believing in the Multiverse - if there are infinite universes, in one of them the story of Giordano Bruno happened exactly like the Cosmos show says it did. Unfortunately, in an actual universe, it did not.

why can we hear the spaceship as it coasts into that nebula - well, it is a spaceship of the imagination, but I thought Tyson's imagination would be more accurate than a teenager's.

If the world wasn't created in 6 days, and religion is not a metaphor but we are to be told religious people take it literally, why did Tyson use a calendar year in the exact same way?
