This probably won't answer the question, but here goes: Scientists have stumbled upon a theory that tells of infinitesimally small bands of energy they've come to call "strings." They presume or theorize that these bands hold together everything. They were able to figure it out by way of their intense Math ability. I'm not going to say strings do exist, but it would be pretty dumb to assume they don't because a) I'm not a mathematician and b) I can't see them. It would be too damned arrogant of me to say they don't exist. A lion's heart beats hard and fierce when she hunts. She doesn't know it exists and wouldn't know what it was if she saw it (she'd mistake it for food), but it helps her to live. I'm not saying there's a white guy in a long white robe who's probably a jew/zionist/republican who's pulling all of the strings and burning all the fornicators. But I feel there's more to all this shit than meets the eye.

Fundamentalists that take the Bible literally, are the modern day "Flat Earthers". It's rather sad that in today's day in age with all of our advancements in science and technology; people still follow a piece of literature that was highly regarded in the Dark Ages. People that can't critically think for themselves or are not curious enough to ask thoughtful questions, or have an inflated since of self worth, or wants to suppress or not pay attention to any information that contradicts the validity of the Bible are the one that follow god. Could you imagine if we just listened to Bible Thumpers and never sent a man to the moon or sent a satellite into outer space. These "Flat Earthers / Bible Thumpers" would still think that the Earth is the center of the universe...
