This is just a dumb squabble about a dumb media tag.
The Higgs Boson isn’t the ‘God’ particle. It didn’t create the universe. It didn’t become Flesh and dwell among us. It cannot forgive sins.
The Higgs Boson is an amazing element of Gods creation. Let’s focus on that.
These morons know nothing.
They say the universe was smaller than an atom then exploded in the big bang and became larger than a galaxy in one trillionth trillionth of a second. they have no explanation why or how this big bang occurred.
They scientists also told us global warming was real. that has been proven a hoax . there is no warming.
The roots of atheism are almost always moral not intellectual.
The “God particle” was actually coined in a book about the search for the elusive particle. It was not a reference to religion per se, just making use of a metaphor. Mr. Higgs is being way too sensitive.
However, there is an interesting analogy to be made from this term. Without the Higgs field (of which the Higgs boson is only the force carrier), there would be no matter in the universe, only energy. Energy cannot interact with itself, only matter by way of the Pauli exclusion principal. So without the “God particle”, appearing some time after the Big Bang, the universe would be a uniform sea of energy, void and without form.
Then what is it the work of?
Uh oh. Another pin-head atheist is offended.
Shall we call it the A-hole Atheist particle instead?
OK. Than it’s the “butt head” particle.
“the particle holding the physical fabric of the universe together”
So that’s it! The one particle responsible for it all.
And when do they discover the next important particle that explains it all?
“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.”

It will now be INDELIBLY ETCHED in my conversation as the God Particle

I read this in my high school AP Physics class. It's apparently been referenced as the "God particle" for a long time.
Interesting read, by the way. In-depth without being ridiculously over-technical.
It doesn’t fit the bill. The God particle would be THE fundamental building block that all things were made of. The Higgs boson isn’t.
Well guess what professor - people are going to call the thing what they call it regardless of what you may wish for.
Secondly is he mad because of his feelings about God or is he mad because in using the term his own name is omitted? Or could it be a little of both?
My advice to Prof. Higgs - Get over it.
I always thought the “god (small g) particle” was physicists way of saying there was no “God.”
