They may not be an absolute known, but stemming from them are many theories considered to be rational. Or you're calling a lot of theories illogical.With your most recent post, I'll then attempt to re-answer your previous post.
First off, the most modern form of string theory that I'm aware of, M-theory, doesn't come from our knowledge of two dimensions or timelessness. It's based on the idea that the most basic components of atoms are extremely tiny vibrating membranes.
In fact, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-theory
What it aims to explore is the theory of everything - uniting all of our understanding of physics from disparate areas of physics research into a unified whole - particularly quantum physics with astrophysics, which are traditionally incompatible with one another in many respects.
It has nothing to do with the concept of timelessness or your concept of god. It's not a vehicle to 'explore' so much as take the knowledge we have and try to fit it all together into a cohesive whole.
Further, M-theory is still largely unproven. It's a very exciting area of research because it gives so many interesting mathmatical and physical answers as to how things may work given the framework of what we already know, but no one has conclusively proven M-theory to be an accurate depiction of how things work.
Even so, I need to reiterate that it prooves nothing about your concept of a god.

There are no absolutes truths. I agree What theories are you talking about? see above
