It seems a bit contradictory to the concept of "the will of God" that 
God would allow timelines in which every possible thing happens. It 
would follow from what you said before that every possible thing is the 
will of God.

Have you read Niven's "All the Myriad Ways"? It takes the multiple 
worlds concept to just such a depressing moral conclusion. People who 
are contemplating murder, rape, or suicide ask themselves -- "Why not? 
It's going to happen somewhere."
