You're just talking drivel as usual.
Of course string theory began in the 1940's. Heisenberg was describing and developed the basis for and of string theory which physicists went on to develop versions and theories of well before Susskind.
Then came super-string theory.
Many notable physicist came before Susskind in earlier crucial developments of superstring theory. Susskind made important contributions some 30 or 40 years after Heisenberg and those earlier pioneers, adding the 'string landscape' catchy descriptive, popularizing the string landscape as it is often attributed to his name, but nevertheless, his area remains essentially a non-scientific proposition.
That in itself is not what string theory is, so saying he is a co founder is based more on urban myth than being factually correct. He has greatly popularized superstring theory and gets a lot of credit for the whole thing. Almost like saying Richard Dawkins is a co founder of evolution. You jerk.
Faith does not have any math, laws of physics or quantum mechanics to support its theories as science does.
Sheer fantasy supports the kind of faith you're so adversly susceptible to and the type of fine-tuning you mean just combats itself.
