Without the prefabricated opinons of beleivers and nonbelivers alike, Do you think that the multiple deminsions described in string theory could contain a God?

Okay, once again we're trying to use science to validate religion. I'm not saying that it isn't possible to do so, but I *am* saying that it's not too possible to do so using our current level of understanding - either at the macroscopic (cosmic) or microscopic (quantum) levels.
Multiple dimensions are a rational product of our attempts to both build and understand quantum theory and mechanics. As such, they could be anything from a few extra dimensions (which exist but are either too small for us to actually detect or are situated in multi-dimensional space in such a way that we're oblivious to their existence outside of a theorem on paper) to a nearly-infinite number of universes which correspond to the various ways that events can and do happen (or could and might have happened in our own "universe" had we made different choices).
Now whether or not these point to the existence of a God, or even if they'd allow for God to exist, is pretty moot, as it's still a matter of faith - either the complexity involved is such that our concept of a diety cannot be accountable for all that there is, or else it's a glaring proof that there is a God and he (or she, or it) is responsible for it all. Faith, nothing more and nothing less.

If the concept of God was based on God as an energy, then the string theory could contain a God. Perhaps several layers of Gods, or more accurately, several layers to the God.
Touchy yet inspiring subject.

WE exist in a material world there is no comparison about the structure of matter and How our Creator exists.Spirit is not equivalent to mass structures.
JUst as mass is not the same concept as energy.
The string theory relates to micro wiggling worms which display they energies in relative to their vibrating frequency in terms of planck's Constant.
Mathemathically, any one can create multiple dimensions whether math relates to reality is another question.

I have no idea but I just watched Masters of Horror Dreams in a witch house which dealt with the string theory so your question is kind of scary.

for me the concept of god is just a way of rationalizing the natural occurance of things. The more we advance scientificly the more we realize everying is made up of the same stuff. i think that you can give whatever it out there whatever name you want.

I'm guessing Probably. With varying attributes in each dimension.

Could, yes. But would guess, no.
Also, define god?

More accurately, a power if you will.
