We don’t disagree.
Until the specious “something nonexistent did something because it had to” drums start beating, then I run for the cover of sanity....
I’d settle for a subtle, profound and accurate “ we don’t know, yet, but we’re open to what all observation suggests” response.

the problem with string theory is that there’s no way to experimentally verify any of its since most of it is outside the four dimensions we inhabit. and those dimensions may or may not exist. Further, their existance is unverifiable. In short, the scientists have created flying pink elephants.
