[CoxRox]

I can understand where you are coming from though CoxRox, but comparing String theory to a creator ignores all the notions of String theory. Firstly, strings are vibrations of energy, and we know that energy exists. They extend into other dimensions, and we know dimensions exist (we live in 3 of them and travel along the fourth). Secondly, strings aren't given any intelligence, which a God apparently has, so they don't need to explain the origins of their being, and strings aren't given any degree of moral or otherwise control over us as a species. They simply hold together reality in a natural way.

So all in all, I'd say a creator is much more unlikely than string theory, even when you accept that string theory is unprovable.

I understand your reasoning on this. I only compare them in that they are both 'unproveable' at the minute. Obviously their natures are very different and hence Leo in an earlier post somewhere, is right that I shouldn't be comparing them. From what I've learnt of string theory it does seem very possible and it also seems possible that 'God' is the ultimate means of 'hold(ing) together reality in a natural way (via strings)'. The further you go back something has got to be controling or holding together matter and if that something is an eternal force it would explain matter and space and time maybe being 'eternal'. I'm getting a bit tongue tied now, but I know that it's the 'intelligence' aspect or complexity of this 'force' that deems it unlikely to you guys but to me its not impossible.
