same here, i've read quite a few physics books, that were very interesting... but in school i learnt/read almost only *boring* physics, that didn't really explain the basics of nature.
that theory is interesting indeed, might solve the mathematical problems and join all the natural phenomenon in one theory (that is an obsession).
about the Big Bang being retarded... wrong problem i guess.. only pushes the question a little farther... who/what made this piece of energy appear in the first place... we'll never figure out. But IMO that it is a real lack of humility to think that the thing/man/spirit that created that little piece of energy that allowed to create our Universe (and maybe others :\) might act on our little fates, on the little Earth...
Billions prayers praying for the apple to not fall, i bet whatever it will anyways..

There is a reason the String theory isn't mentioned all that much, it is here but only in advanced courses at NYC and such. Furthermore read more about anti-matter and how it proves creation of matter "out of nowhere" thus proving Genesis possible. Genesis is exectly that there was nothing and then there is something and no, you cretin, anti-matter doesn't just destroy matter that it creates the process is nothing even close to that.

You're right not too many physics classes go into super string theory. Usually only theoretical physics classes will touch on the topic. The majority of physics classes offered at any university will be classical physics, fluids, mechanics, magnetics, light. Stuff like that and you have to go through all of those classes before you can take the theoretical physics classes. They're only offered during the spring here at UT. Even the graduate program doesn't touch much on super string theory unless you your advisor is head of the theory department and that is a pretty tough research nut to crack. They accept about 8 students a year or so. Physics isn't necessary to understand the meaning of Genesis. Neither is going to a christian church.

I wasn't quiet referring to the anti-matter theory as a basis for Genesis per se (That was just something that came up at one of the interviews i read with CERN Board of Directors papers). Theories, specially of this aspect, aren't really thought in schools unless you take them as you said, as a special course.
