This is religion, until we have evidence, or at least a research program to obtain evidence. We don't.

High-energy physics has abdicated science, and is training up a priesthood who will reliably echo String Church doctrine. Successfully, by evidence seen here.

Fortunately we still have solid-state, fluid, low-temperature, high-Rydberg, plasma, and other physicists to take up the mantle and religiously-disinclined students. There is still plenty of physical science to do. Apostates could join in.
