I suspect your obsession with string theory is much like Michael Behe's laughable views on irreducible complexity. You began by assuming the Bible is true and then go looking for scientific theories to support that. In your case it is this kooky idea of multiverses and heaven. That's a really poor way to conduct science and it's a poor way to conduct spiritual investigation, because you presuppose what you're trying to prove. In your case (like Behe's), you're trying to reconcile ancient Bronze Age mythology with the modern world, but are unwilling or unable to allow the idea that the mythology is just that--myths. You are convinced that proving the existence of "eternal life" is just around the corner if you can somehow just shoehorn it into some established scientific theory--or even some unproven but sciency-sounding theory like multiverses. That's a fool's errand.
