Umm, coming from someone who has a PhD in a hard science....... it is clear to me that you either don't understand the tenets of science or fail to fully grasp the fundementals of the theory.
Science isn't about "feeling", if you want "feeling and intuition" stick with religion where proof is not required. The only reason String theory even exists is because of taking a scienitific approach to the question.
Unified Field Theory still has a long way to go, but I also see it as the foremost explanation as to the origin of the universe... HOWEVER, this doesn't mean we should jump ahead without the proper evidence just because it feels right......if we do that, we may well be totally wrong, and it will lead us down a path of calcification of belief, rather than a constant revision of reality based on ever increasing evidence.
Remember, science is everchanging based on new and improved evidence, NOT on feeling that something is correct and then setting it aside as so and not continually challenging it.
