And what independently testable, otherwise non-reproducible effect on the physical world would this "underlying force" have? This explanation reeks of the same long discredited arguments used by Creationists.

What independently testable, reproducible effects can you ascribe to "hyperstring theory" or any other postulations of modern theoretical physics? Is even "big bang theory" (although imminently logical), actually testable?

It all becomes philosophy and metaphysics after a certain threshold.
