Cool - so since you have emphatically stated that you don’t believe string theory; then that is “false knowledge”, and your counter belief is “real knowledge”.

Unlike evolutionary theory, there doesn’t seem to be any way to empirically falsify string theory, so I question its status as a science. It seems to be a mathematica castle in the air, lacking all investigable connections with the empirical domain. Garrett Lisi’s GUTOE, on the other hand, will soon be empirically tested by the search for the Higgs Boson in the large hadron Collider. It will either be verified or falsified as a result - which is what must be possible of an assertion for it to be considered to be scientific.
