It is as illogical as every other religious explanation.

What with all the gurus in the world out of work, I can't believe you are giving away the secret to the meaning of life.

Ishavasya Upanishad:
The Ishavasya Upanishad says that the universe is pervaded by Ishvara (God), who is both within and without it. He is the moving and the unmoving, He is far and near, He is within all these and without all these.

Grand Unification Theory:
The term Grand Unified Theory or GUT, refers to any of several similar models in particle physics in which at high energy scales, the three gauge interactions of the Standard Model which define the electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions, are merged into one single interaction characterized by a larger gauge symmetry and one unified coupling constant rather than three independent ones.

Which makes it the same as every religion on earth.

Theory: noun: a tentative theory about the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena.
Unproven, which everyone can accept or reject, just like every religion in the world.

I hate this thread. All I can hear in my head is that stupid Nagilla Hava or whatever it is.

Hardly any similarity to someone standing in darkness and ordering "let there be an earth......"

Theories form basis of research and studies which drive the world ahead. Relativity was a theory, so was quantum physics at some point of time in the past. Every theory is based on defining the the facts supported by relevant proofs. GUT has some core pillars supporting it. There's enough google can can show about this theory not being merely a hypotheses.

...And plenty of physicists who disagree with you, wanderer.
