I subscribe to Scientific American and string theory is quite the rage with them. I've read it, and I can't help but notice how little suspicious investigation it gets. It's almost pushed by the magazine leadership rolling over desention without abode. Einstein's Relativity in his time was radical and rejected by most scientists and had mostly skeptics and had to be proven over and over by expirements designed to debunk it before it was finally accepted. However, String Theory has mostly proponents and few skeptics. Most of the experiments are aligned with "proving the theory" rather than debunking it.

My sense is that the scientific community of today is more interested in leaving behind a legacy equal to Einstein's that revolutionized our understanding of the universe whether or not string theory has a shred of validity. Many of these scientist are godless athiests and are attempting to justify their arguement by connecting it to Relativity as an "extension of Einsteins theories" (who was not an atheist) which are mearsurable and provable with something that is not.

Fact is, Einstein had nothing to do with popular ideas perpetuated by our modern day scientific community, for what is proposed today would more than likely be rejected by him if he were alive today.
