No offense, but it seems your college course must of been quite some time ago.The nuclear weak force, that binds electrons to the nucleus, and the electromagnetic force have been unified into one force called the electro-weak force.In fact Steven Weinberg (his books are great, read them) won a nobel prize for it.
The dark matter or shadow mass has also been pretty much tossed out.It seems blackholes can account for most/all of the unobserved matter.10 dimensional string theory has been pretty much tossed out as well, though it seems to be coming back in the 11(or the even newer 12) dimensional M-theory, M-branes, membranes or whatever they call it these days.These theories IMO are getting off track.I agree that it will take a high dimension count theory to unify quantum mechanics and relativity, but string and M theories won't be it.While I can't make up my mind on the whole "God" thing, I think the "theory of everything" will be a spiritual one, but not spiritual as it is defined today and definately not theological or "divine"
