The Theory of God

I read an article today that says physicist Stephen Hawking, in his final book, proclaimed that God does not exist. I find his declaration kind of interesting.  Hawking was a brilliant man, with an incredible mind.  He was a firm supporter of M Theory as a complete explanation of how the universe works.  The thing is, M Theory requires eleven dimensions in order to work, and it's for this reason I'm a bit perplexed why Hawking didn't believe in God.  Allow me to use an analogy to explain.

It should go without saying that we experience life in four dimensions... length, width, depth and time.  Now, imagine a world of two dimensions.  These two-dimensional beings have length and width, but cannot grasp the concepts of depth and time.  In short, their experience is half of ours.  They cannot move, because they don't exist in time the same way that we do.  They will never notice a shadow, because they do not experience depth.  Human beings "create" two-dimensional things all the time through drawing, painting, photography, and so forth.  These "creations" would rightly consider the painter, sketch artist or photographer a god, because the artist did indeed create the art.  The creator experiences all four dimensions... two dimensions more than the creation could ever possibly comprehend, and exists outside of its own creation.  Now, let's take my analogy to the next level.

As I said before, mankind exists in a world of four dimensions... but Hawking postulated that our universe has eleven dimensions.  The flaw in Hawking's conclusion that no God exists is that he failed to acknowledge the possibility of an eleven-dimensional being.  This is even more interesting, because Hawking believed in the existence of alien life.  I find it interesting that Hawking's system of belief allowed for alien life, but did not leave room for the existence of an eleven-dimensional being... a being that would certainly qualify as God based on our limited understanding.  Indeed, God doesn't need to exist in all eleven dimensions in order to be able to create us in a matter similar to how we "create" two-dimensional art.

I understand that two-dimensional art doesn't "exist" in the same manner that we do.  Two-dimensional art doesn't experience reality... it isn't life, thus my analogy is imperfect.  However, this analogy should adequately explain why I'm so puzzled over Hawkings certainty that God doesn't exist, while simultaneously believing in eleven dimensions.
