The faithful just love to bring up string theory as their defense to the myth of god also being valid. The problem is that you obviously do not understand what string theory is and what it is not. String theory is a mathematical approach to theoretical physics. It is not a scientific theory because it does not rely upon empirical evidence, it is a mathematical theory which is a big difference. Unlike a scientific theory, string theory also does not make any predictions and there are no experiments that can prove string theory as a valid scientific theory. As such, as a scientific theory, it is still only a hypothesis based upon other principles that are yet to be observed as well. So while the mathematical theory is still valid, as a scientific theory, String theory is a poor foundation upon which to set up an argument for the belief in god as it is not a scientific theory by definition.
God, on the other hand, has no basis upon which to create a mathematical or scientific hypothesis in the first place. There is no observable evidence upon which to make a hypothesis and no other type of evidence for that matter other than overactive imaginations of people who are simply to lazy to look for the real answers or prefer to be told what to think by people in silly robe and hats. God is a poor raplacement for rational thought and has no place in the life of any rational being.
