No scientist can ever figure out how to make a universe appear in a test tube. God particle, pfah. You might as well call the atmosphere of the earth a God gas, or the rain and oceans a God liquid.
Many a scientist, however, has successfully figured out the presence and characteristics of the forces of nature, making way for future efforts to harness those forces. That is perfectly proper. Like fire or water or tools or weapons, such capability can be put to good or evil uses.
Back in what may not be so fictional science fiction visions, the noted atheist and science fiction writer Isaac Asimov hypothesized that the Red Sea split due to an antigravity ray. Now Asimov further hypothesized an exterrestrial being applying this ray, but if such a thing as the Higgs field exists then you could just as well speculate that the omnipotent God canceled the Higgs field there. And so what. It simply gets into relatively trivial issues of how... and does not answer who or why.
Our tax dollars should never support science that seeks to “discover” answers that can be found in scripture free of charge. Yet, I am constantly being FORCED to pay for university scientists who want to do things like measure the age of the Earth or find out the “nature of the universe.” We KNOW those things already. God WROTE A BOOK ABOUT IT. If atheists want to go off on a fool’s errand to “discover” something else, then they should pay for it themselves!
