It's just as easy to argue against all of them in the same manner. There is no evidence for *ANY* of them, hence it's foolish to believe in *ANY* of them.
The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. Theories such as super-string rely on dimensions that exist (or at least can only be observed) only on paper, but it certainly seems to tie the universe together. That is just as much faith as in any religion.

Don't get me wrong, I am an atheist myself, but dont discount a system of thought because it relies on unobservable, abstract ideas.
