You see Huggy it's only you referring to them as higher dimensions. The concept itself is meaningless. How can a dimension be considered higher if there isn't another dimension on which it exists to be considered higher than other dimensions.
For example, take an X-Z plane, height is typically considered on the Y axis. Yet nothing material exists that is restricted to just two dimensions. No matter how thin it is, it has a height. And persists over time.
And here it is. The god of the gaps argument.

Einstein believed in Spinoza’s God, which he equated with nature itself, but he always held this “God” to be entirely knowable. D’Espagnat’s veiled God, on the other hand, is partially – but still fundamentally – unknowable. And for precisely this reason, it would be nonsensical to paint it with the figure of a personal God or attribute to it specific concerns or commandments.
