Both solutions suffer from the 747 problem yet he entirely discredits one because it doesn't suit his world view.

The two positions aren't really equal though, in the case of multiple universes it is a natural (meaning non-supernatural) process that results in the observed universe. This is the preferred position because everything else observed is the result of natural processes.
If there were other things that were clear evidence of supernatural, invoking the supernatural with respect to the creation of the universe might be a more equal position, but there isn't...
So invoking God as a solution to the problem of what started the universe is a God of the gaps fallacy, it's preferable to simply say "I don't know yet".
