Really, when I was in first grade, I learned in one swell swoop that there wasn't an Easter Bunny, Santa Claus or Tooth Fairy. Must have been the beginning of me wondering what else are they were lying about.

I'll rephrase my thought to see if I can make it more clear.
We got sidetracked before from my thought and intent. The fact that astrophysicists have identified a need for a minimum of eleven dimensions to exist in our universe creates possibilities for atheists who believe in a spirit realm. This thought goes back to the early part of this thread where that was being discussed.

The presence of "the unknown" gives possibilities for atheists who believe in a spirit realm. The discovery of a minimum of eleven dimensions neither adds or subtracts from those possibilities. As a general rule, the likelihood of a given theory being proven correct increases when evidence is found in its favor, not just when more evidence in general is found. |

No astrophysicist said there are eleven dimensions. What the guy you quoted said was, if there's a god, there would be like, eleven dimensions or something to contain that. ...somehow.

M-theory predicts 11 dimensions.

Lemme try again.
No astrophysicist has said there are UNDOUBTABLY eleven dimensions, and certainly not in this thread; what your guy said was, etc etc. close enough. i'm honestly not so up on my astrophysics.

Has any astrophysicist said "UNDOUBTABLY" anything? They're professional guessers, aren't they?
