I'm just not trained well enough to properly analyze it.
I just have a gut feeling that there is an answer to the puzzles of physics that doesn't need the multiple universes theory to explain them.

It doesn't. There are alternative theories. The majority of those theories sit quite well with some version of LOA, though.
Example - instead of explaining the collapse of the wavefunction by using Hugh Everett's Many Worlds Theory, we could explain it by using the Bohm interpretation. Or we could explain it using the "consciousness causes collapse" theory.
The Bohm interpretation goes very well with Deepak Chopra's explanation of LOA.
While the "consciousness causes collapse" theory goes very well with Fred Alan Wolf's (of "What the Bleep!" and "The Secret" fame) explanation of LOA.
Whereas Hugh Everett's Many Worlds Theory goes best with Jane Roberts/Seth explanation of LOA.
The interesting thing to me is that I've never come across any explanation why all the different explanations of the wavefunction collapse cannot be simultaneously true. (In other words, I don't see why Deepak, Fred and Seth cannot all be right).
