I personally think that there is a God, he is making things up as we go along. Every time we do an experiment, the thinks "Oh shit, I had better think of an answer". That's why the deeper we go into the fabric of the universe the weirder things become - God is running out of ideas that are consistent with the last lot of answers he gave us. I can just see him: "Yeah, strings, strings would work.... and might keep them busy for a while."
