Science vs God – The Concepts of String Theory

Ge 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ... Ge 1:3 And God said ...

According to string theory, at the most microscopic level, everything in the universe is made up of loops of vibrating strings, and apparent particle differences can be attributed to variations of vibration. An object (such as an apple, for example) and a force (such as radiation, for example) can both be broken down into atoms, which can be further broken down into electrons and quarks, which can be, finally, broken down into tiny, vibrating loops of strings.  ¹superstring theory (string theory, Theory of Everything);  http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/superstring-theory-string-theory-Theory-of-Everything

BTW - that tiny vibrating string is incredibly small,  Like about 10-33 centimeters, which is a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a centimeter.  For those who don't know how many centimeters are in an inch - one inch is 2.54 centimeters.

Did you notice the parts about "God said" and "vibrations"?

While the sounds we hear with our ears have nothing to do with "God said" or with String Theory, they do have something in common with String Theory, and very possibly with "God said" as well.  It's the vibrations.  We see that in this definition from mediacollege.com -

Sound waves exist as variations of pressure in a medium such as air. They are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the air surrounding it to vibrate. The vibrating air then causes the human eardrum to vibrate, which the brain interprets as sound.

This article is but one part of a series on Science vs God, so I invite you to check out the rest as well at science vs god.  It's in its early stages now, so I encourage you to come back from time to time, or better yet subscribe to the site using the any of the options at the top of this page, or using your email in the subscription box towards the top right corner..

It was a tough decision whether to try to explain String Theory first, or do the comparison to the Bible first.  Ultimately, I decided to go with this one - the explanation of String Theory.  I think it will make it easier to understand the possibilities when we get to actually looking at the Biblical events that could potentially be explained by String Theory.  I'll put a link to the second part of the String Theory article when it's published.
I was hoping this would be short.  Maybe it's relatively short, but certainly not short.  I do hope it's worthwhile going through it - and also hope that you can get enough of a basic understanding of what's involved.  Not the intricate details - certainly not the math - just the concepts and possibilities.  
If you'd like to get into the math on your own, I've included a list of the requirements at the bottom.  Having been a math major for 3 years in college and going through graduate level statistics in business school - I can tell you that all of the requirements can be met with that level of education.

The eleven dimensions of superstring theory

While string theory is still being worked out, and there isn't general agreement on everything, we need to choose something for which to do this comparison.  For this article, we'll use three sites for looking at String Theory.  Therefore, what follows is a combination of information from those three sites.  You can match the colors of the text to see which of the following sites is used for the reference material.

Introduction

When someone mentions "different dimensions," we tend to think of things like parallel universes – alternate realities that exist parallel to our own, but where things work or happened differently. However, the reality of dimensions and how they play a role in the ordering of our Universe is really quite different from this popular characterization.

To break it down, dimensions are simply the different facets of what we perceive to be reality. We are immediately aware of the three dimensions that surround us on a daily basis – those that define the length, width, and depth of all objects in our universes (the x, y, and z axes, respectively).

Beyond these three visible dimensions, scientists believe that there may be many more. In fact, the theoretical framework of Superstring Theory posits that the universe exists in ten different dimensions. These different aspects are what govern the universe, the fundamental forces of nature, and all the elementary particles contained within.
