Every good scientist believed in something supernatural at least once, then they tried to proof it (black holes f.e.).

Science deals with things that are natural.

If a black hole were assumed to be supernatural there'd be nothing to prove. The "then they tried to prove it" forces scientists to make theories which are falsifiable (ie in the natural world).

If there's no test we can think of to disprove the idea, it's not a scientific idea.

Atheism is unscientific. You can't proof the non existence of god(s),

Theism is unscientific. You can't prove the existence of god(s).

A-theism means absence of theism.

Atheists aren't necessarily claiming to be able to prove god doesn't exist, they're saying they don't believe in a particular theism.

therefore ruling out every possible of something supernatural is dumb.

Agreed. Gnostic atheism seems dumb to me too.

That's why I'm agnostic atheist. I don't believe in God, but I dont know if I'm right or not.

There could be a god, and seeing evidence of such I'd change my mind.

How many dimensions are there again?

We don't know.

Depends what you mean by dimension as well. Spacetime seems to have 4, 3 space and 1 time.

Spacetime also appears to be an illusion. Whatever the answer is needs to be informed by quantum physical mechanisms we don't fully understand yet.

Again, agnostic covers the "I don't know part".

Has every scientist that believes in the string theory lost credibility?

Basically yeah.

Checkout this video, Dr. Collier covers a lot of points I was feeling as well.

String theorists lied to everyone and massively overstated the evidence that it was true when it was still a young developing model.

Now that it's become a dead-end it's tough to take back those promises.
