In short, the relationship between string theory and God can be stated this way: If string theory is true, then God created it. That is the only definitive statement we can deduce from the Bible ab...

Know that the bible is true. It is not a book of science, but wherever we can test science mentioned in the Bible it proves correct. 

String theory adds more scientific thought indicating the truth of creation as stated in the Bible. 

The theory of relativity indicates the universe is expanding, which was confirmed by Hubble.

Since it is expanding rather than being in the "Steady State" it was thought to be in, the logical conclusion is that it had a beginning, and if it had a beginning it should have a catalyst or something supernatural that started it. This is the reason Einstein returned to believing in a Creator. 

String theory, in an very small nutshell, states that the fundamental force or energy that began the whole thing was sound, that everything we see and what we don't is a manifestation of sound. The music of the universe. 

Now let's see what the bible says.
GEN 1:3 "And God Said 'Let there be light"....." Said = spoke = sound. 
JOHN 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." 

It is important to understand the difference between a theory and a hypothesis. String theory is testable through math, which is the language of the universe. It is not replicable and will need much more work before it can be assumed to be fact. Example, you will still hear of "the Theory of Gravity" not because gravity is untrue. Gravity is a fact, however our calculation of gravity seems to need some refining when applied to the study of space.

The concept that the behavior of gravatational waves and the appearance and disappearance of certain subatomic particles indicates the existence of a parallel universe is fundamental to my personal concept of God.
Many years ago, the Hubble telescope identified four galaxies merging into one super Galaxy. This was taking place 100 billion light years away. The resulting distance equal to the speed of light or 5.8 trillion miles times 100 billion yields a distance so great that my puny mind cannot comprehend it. Yet the doctrine of omnipresence would indicate that God was there orchestrating this celestial merger while at the same time He was here with me.
It seems logical to conclude that our world of the flesh is contained within a much older and larger world of the Spirit also known as the Kingdom of God.
