Do those individuals say "parallel universes are a non issue" or do they say, "I don't know if parallel universes exists".
If you understand the word "issue" as a point or matter under dispute then parallel universes are a non issue for me.
If you ask the question "Do parallel universes exist?" then my answer would be "I don't know if parallel universes exists."
If you ask the question "Does an all powerful God exist?" then my answer would be "I don't know if an all powerful God exists."
Now if you ask me to categorize my parallel universe beliefs or disbeliefs (pick a specific camp so to speak), I would choose a category closest to my feelings, but I would say that parallel universes are a non issue since my thoughts don't truly fit into the choices given. Plus when the conversation is over, I won't think of parallel universes again, until the subject is brought up again.

To me, saying "God is a non issue" appears to avoid the question.
It doesn't avoid the question, it explains their position. Understand their position and adjust your paradigm.
quote:
And if parallel universes are considered a non issue, then does that imply they are unworthy of further discussion?
No, but you aren't discussing parallel universes, you are discussing the categories, or your labels assigned to each camp of thought.
