Accident or Intellegent Design? Here we go; they start out with the classic Creationist false dichotomy. Marc Surtees would be proud.
"Oh noes!! The evil materialistic scientists are so arrogantly assuming that the Universe is limited to simplistic non-fantasies!"
The authors of Y-Origins seems to live in a world in which science has historically required Christianity to function.
This is one of the saddest arguments presented by Creationists because they are missing the magnificence that exists all around them. They believe that by looking at the their surroundings, imposing a supernatural origin (God, magic fairies, what have you,) and then being impressed by the imagined things supposed ability to create our existence makes their view somehow more enlightened then any non-biased investigation. The opposite is in fact true. Everything I have ever learned about science has been more exciting and more inviting than any story has ever been, whether it be from the pages of a religious text or an episode of "Star Trek". Even something as seemingly sterile as Calculus has provided me glimpses into a universe far more incredible than I could ever imagine.
Creationists wave their hands at all of that and instead pretend that the collimated efforts of millions of people over thousands of years is itself, a vague and unsubstantiated fable they call, Evolutionism, or in the case of Y-Origins, Materialism.
This argument is what began the downfall of VenomFangX. His arrogant assumptions that the existing scientific theories were so simple that an uneducated prick like him could challenge their validitys is part of what motivated him to invite Thunderf00t to a debate.
*Note: I know that I generalized the wide verity of religious beliefs, I needed to do that for brevity.

Are you sure? The only thing I am aware of is that the new LHC might probe so-called large extra dimensions in which certain Graviton-induced collisions would spill some energy into a different dimension, thus causing some measurable energy imbalance.
Unfortunately this is not an unambiguous experimental signature for strings. But, as I said, both theory and experiment are under development, and the theory has even not yet reach its final formulation due to mathematical difficulties.
