Infinite Universes...Infinite Idiots

A theory has been proposed to explain the existence of life in our
universe in light of the hard-edged math that finds it's existence
improbable in the extreme, given the age and size of our universe. The
theory indicates there are an infinite number of universes and therefore
an infinite number of chances for life to exist. One universe was bound
to exist that harbors life as we know it.

If the number of universes is really infinite then this doesn't go far
enough. Infinite isn't just a big number. It's an unending number.
Therefore there must be an infinite number of universes where life
evolved. There must be an infinite number of universes identical to
ours. There must be an infinite number of universes identical to ours
except for the position of one item. And so on. Therefore, there must
be an infinite number of universes in which we are all exactly alike
except that the persons proposing the infinite universe theory are
idiots masquerading as enlightened scientists.

How do we know we aren't in that universe?
