The fundamental flaw in your argument is that you don't really understand how
the scientific method works. Or, at least you aren't revealing that knowledge
in your post.
Theoretical physicists aren't allowed to "just make shit up". Anyone can say,
"well there's a Magic Grandfather who made all this shit, and he used his
Rainbow Powers and created Happyland." I could say it, Echicken could say, or
the Pope could say it, and we'd all have about the same validity (none).
But a theoretical physicist doesn't just start with nothing and sets off
creating science from scratch. He starts from a firm grounding in the real,
provable, observable universe. And, from there, he extrapolates on what he
knows to be real and true, and starts formulating plausible ideas about what
the nature of the universe might be.
I hope that clears that up. I wouldn't want you to embarass yourself further.
