"If there was real solid scientific evidence one way or the other I would think rational people would go with the scientific evidence but we have no such evidence."

Whoa! That is not the way it is done. It is scientifically impossible to prove a negative. Therefore, there is absolutely no onus on the negative side to prove anything about Gods, unicorns, or invisible mice. There is an abundance of evidence for conditional beings. There has never been any evidence for an unconditional being. It is nonsense for a person to claim that the likelihood of 500 dimensions is the same as the likelihood of three or four merely because we can never give evidence that there are not 500 dimensions. We have very sound evidence that no mice have human hearts. We don't give the alternative view equal merit simply because there is no proof that no mice have human hearts.
