the string theorists admitted that after 20 years, they still did not know how to test string theory

I happen to think string theory shows great promise - but it is this admission which, so far, makes it tantamount to religion. Here's hoping they find a way to test it.

Not religion, it keeps it on the level of mathematics with no evidence that the equations describe reality.
