These theories are pretty far-fetched and have no evidence whatsoever to back them up. There are some wild theories, I suppose, and this is definitely not the wildest of them, but it does have less substantiation than a slather of them.
There are some flaws in your proposition. Firstly, the zombies cannot be "dead soldiers posioned by the chemical weapons of the time, trapped in infinite hell as they cannot die, but can only kill," as "posioned" is not a word and they spawn every night. Now, you may be thinking, "well, of course they do! That's how zombies work! They rise from the ground." Sure, okay, I can accept that, but if you build an iron platform in the sky they will spawn on it. That is not rising from the ground. That is appearing from nothing. The creeper, if your theory is correct, cannot spawn as it is a "genetically modified creature used as a suicide bomber." An extinct civilization cannot continue to genetically modify anything, and creepers would not be able to continue to spawn. Also, Markus Persson has said that the creeper was invented when he bollixed the creation of the pig, not when this hypothetical race created them. Unless Mr. Persson is this race, that is not how creepers came in to Minecraft.
Along with the preposterous ideas for the origins of these creatures, your "structures" theory is also terribly made. If this race was so advanced, how come the "only things they made to last" were all made of stone bricks, sandstone, mossy cobblestone and wooden planks, with simple rails and regular iron doors, when there are any? Do you not think that this civilization, so avant-garde and skilled at creating things, would have something . . . better? Also, the mineshafts do not actually lead anywhere. Why would such intelligent people - or any people, for that matter - build something so ineffectual and insignificant?
Over all, your hypothesis can easily be deemed of unsound mind and mad as a March hare. It is unimportant and not worth reading according to Newton's Flaming Laser Sword (or Alder's razor), which you can find in Mike Alder's essay, Newton's Flaming Laser Sword, Or: Why Mathematicians and Scientists don't like Philosophy but do it anyway.
Also, you may want to change this page's title. Firstly, you misspelled "disturbing," and secondly you may want to add "theoretical." You also misused the term "there" in the fifth-from-last line. It should be "their." Now, I have no more time to waste on this thread. I shall now remove myself and smugly drink some hot chocolate. Good day.

1. You are being a stickler about grammar. 2. The genetically modified creatures are probably capable of reproducing. 3. Abandoned mineshafts don't exactly lead anywhere, because they are mineshafts. They are are shafts where the testificates mined. 4. Video games don't have to make sense, because they are fictional.

While some of your critiques make a certain amount of sense, using meta-game background to "disprove" in-game background is absolutely unacceptable. It'd be like arguing that the developers of Super Mario Bros. placed the princess in the last castle to provide a goal for the player to work toward, thereby proving that Bowser did NOT kidnap her, unless Bowser is also a developer and we're working off a rather loose definition of "kidnap".
"Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped. The success or failure of any given step will have no impact on the macro level."

1. Only partially. A typo in thew title of a thread is something that I would be very disappointed to realize after a while. 2. Okay, sure, but is popping out of nowhere "reproducing?" 3. Okay, okay. But still, are they seriously one of the few structures still around when this race would undoubtedly have made several stronger ones? 4. So why is Revo_Penguin trying to figure anything sensical out about it? 5. I'm sorry. I really can't take you seriously with that Pikachu thing in your signa-- wait, is the P in Pikachu... *gasp* it is! Harry Potter is Pikachu!

I was being sarcastic there. I apologize; it is rather difficult to type the right tone of voice. Besides, the princess wants to be with Bowser, and Mario is kidnapping her! Wake up, sheeple! Anyway, creepers aren't that essential to Minecraft's sto-- oh, wait, Minecraft hasn't a story at all! Ha ha, I almost forgot! ...probably. Mojang made it complicated with the "End Poem."
Actually, yes! Minecraft does have a story, and in the "end poem" it talks about how the story is whatever you make of it. So, according to this poem, you are right. So was I, though. And Revo_Penguin. Thank you very much for re-enlightening me. Now, if you will excuse me, I am going to play Conway's Game of Life or read xkcd or Dr. McNinja or write or something. You know, something productive. Or maybe just play Minecraft. Command block things are fun!

ಠ_______ಠ I don't know how to react seriously here.

You don't have to. I stopped being serious; it is socially acceptable - and expected - for you to follow suit.
This is completely true. I read it on the Internet.
Also, you in most situations do not have to be too serious when in a conversation with a Minecraft fan or a brony. It's cool.
