I personally find it pretty disturbing, the idea that every decision made births an entire new universe. It just seems wrong to me.
Happy to see I'm not the only one finding it disturbing and creepy.

The many worlds (as well as the multiple universe) theory is the only model that makes sense for me. It is the model which best explains why we exist. If there were only one universe, all the factors which led to the world as we know it would seem far fetched. If it were proven that the many worlds theory was wrong, I still would not throw up my hands and say god must have done it. The world as we know it may be hard to believe, but still easier to believe than the god hypothesis..
You don't need the many world interpretation for that, the vastness of the Universe is more than enough. There is more than 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone, as well as hundred of billions of galaxies in the observable Universe, which may be a tiny part of the whole Universe (Which may even be infinte), which may be only a small part of a tremendously huge Multiverse. It make a lot of stars with planets, even a small propability to life to develop with rare good conditions, a small propabilty to life to become multicellular,a small propabilty of this life to become sentient and intelligent,a small propabilty of intelligent life to develop a industrial civilisation and a small propabilty to then develop a space-farring civilisation; it's still make a huge number of space-farring civilisations in the whole of the Existence. We're simply among the lucky ones in the vastness of the Multiverse.
