Am I a chess master?!

So how come you can disallow human gods, yet I can't disallow anything else?  Your logic is major flawed.

suppose woodshover plays chess by selecting his moves totally randomly. Now there does exist a tiny chance, since the set of possible moves are finite, that in every single game he has played he selected the best move. If we take an infinite number of universes where woodshover plays chess, then the probability shrinks to zero that in ONE of these universes woodshover did not play perfectly in every single one of his games.

So my advice to woodshover is that, if you want to be WC in a parallel universe, you should start playing moves totally randomly, instead of holding yourself back with any logic or thought or calculation.

 Wrong, once again. If it violates our laws of physics then it can't happen. If you can think of a way to become a god on earth, then indeed it has happened somewhere else.

Okay, I'm wondering...in what percentage of these universes am I actually wearing a beard?  And in how many of them is it some big puffy Jerry Garcia rook-hider thing?  Or one of those circular Mark McGwire deals?  Or a vandyke or goatee? (say, how many universes even make a distinction between vandykes and goatees?).

This is actually equivalent to the following.

Some people say that if you convert the entire number Pi to binary, you would have every single movie, book, song, game ever created on your computer.  Not only that, but you would also have every single movie, book, song, game that will ever be created.  You will have every piece of software conceivable, and every piece of software that isn't conceivable.  Not to mention every single porn movie ever created, or will be created.

This stems from the fact that Pi is a transcendental number.  However, there are many flaws in this theory, and most likely, this simply is not the case.  Same with infinite parallel universes.

Its funny you hold the laws of physics so highly as to think they can deny the possibility of something like a god -- but I guess that keeps things simple for you

So, so true. Darwin, the great naturalist himself was not an evolutionist. He believed in divergance of species but he believed that this was due to a master brilliant plan. Only God could command a single celled organism to suddenly mesh its organelles in such a way as to create a functional multicelled organism. Only God could command the trochlear muscle of the human eye to perfectly wind through the trochlear ligament to create a LEVER before man had even concieved such an idea.

Of course Darwin was weird and named his book "The origin of Species and the superiority of race". In school they try to tell you it's called "the origin of species" but that's only because if people actually knew it was a declaration that certain skin colors were inferior then people wouldn't believe it

But to get back on our topic of parallel universes and quantum physics:

I hate quantum physics. Neutrinos are a pain to study. There are too many quarks and such. Maybe we should just stop studying physics. The last major breakthrough ended up making a weapon capable of disintegrating cities in a flash of energy, maybe the next breakthrough will do the same except to our universe.

Then we'll be stuck with that terrible world where woodshover is WC and Orangehonda is allergic to cheese and causes fudgestorms

I guess you're going to have to explain that to the scientists, and mathematicians who made that statement about the inflationary universe theory. 

 I think he is approaching this from the point of view of statistics rather than total domination of infinity. If we assume that woodshover starts out playing a game in an infinite number of universe, and there does exist some very, very tiny but finite chance that he manages to draw the game, then the fact that he is trying an infinite number of times makes it statistically impossible that he loses in every universe.

of course a flaw in this argument which you could easily point out is that this could easily be the only universe where woodshover actually exists. You cant speak meaningfully of the 'chance' that woodshover exists.

Also maybe you dont believe in objective chance, but that gets into some very messy philosophical stuff.
