String Theory
Isaac Newton asked a simple question: if an apple falls then does the moon also fall?
Isaac Newton said yes, the moon falls because of the Inverse Square Law. So does an apple. He had a unified theory of the heavens, but he didn't have the mathematics to solve the falling moon problem. So what did he do? He invented calculus. So calculus is a direct consequence of solving the falling moon problem. In fact, when you learn calculus for the first time, what is the first thing you do? The first thing you do with calculus is you calculate the motion of falling bodies, which is exactly how Newton calculated the falling moon, which opened up celestial mechanics.
Einstein said that gravity is nothing but the byproduct of curved space. So why am I sitting in this chair? A normal person would say I'm sitting in this chair because gravity pulls me to the ground, but Einstein said no, no, no, there is no such thing as gravitational pull; the earth has curved the space over my head and around my body, so space is pushing me into my chair. So to summarize Einstein's theory, gravity does not pull; space pushes. But, you see, the pushing of the fabric of space and time requires differential calculus. That is the language of curved surfaces, differential calculus, which you learn in fourth year calculus.
Well, physics plotted along for many decades. We worked out atomic bombs. We worked out stars. We worked out laser beams, but recently we discovered string theory, and string theory exists in 10 and 11 dimensional hyperspace. Not only that, but these dimensions are super. They're super symmetric. A new kind of numbers that mathematicians never talked about evolved within string theory. That's how we call it “super string theory.” Well, the mathematicians were floored. They were shocked because all of a sudden out of physics came new mathematics, super numbers, super topology, super differential geometry.
But you see, all this is pure mathematics and so the final resolution could be that God is a mathematician. And when you read the mind of God, we actually have a candidate for the mind of God. The mind of God we believe is cosmic music, the music of strings resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace.

No, science fiction.
Something you cannot abide, you FEAR the results of science, that is why you are so dead set against any understanding of evolution or life origins or age of Earth questions. You FEAR mankind just might have enough intellectual wherewithal to figure it all out.
That would drive you insane without a doubt.
Fortunately for you science hasn't figured it all out yet so your sanity is safe for yet another few years.

Did you read the part where I said it doesn't matter if string theory is proven correct or not, the main point is science fiction is a platform that allows people to project ideas that stimulate the imagination and can make people think in directions they would have otherwise missed.
If a science fiction idea points at vector A and is totally bogus but there is a piece of new knowledge just off Vector A in a slightly different direction the fact that someone thought up Vector A in the first place is significant even if bogus.
That's the way creativity works. Of course you HATE creativity since all YOU think the world needs is your one trick pony.

I don't ignore human creativity, however, it should be obvious we did not create ourselves or the earth we live on. Therefore, it stands to reason that there must be a greater creative force than human creativity.
