Well, if you read the

Well, if you read the article you would find that they weren't actually talking about a particle that contains God, but that this particle could give us new significant information on the universe. That is interesting in a totally mind-boggling way. I can't even begin to understand particle physics.

Baiting me?

I'm already disappointed in the delay.

This is the index page for CERN's public information resources. They have made it more 'layman-ish'.

It's fun reading. Trust me.

I believe the LHC will also look for gravitrons and sparticles.

 

Anyway, I see no reason Higgs mechanism contradicts my beliefs ( or any belief in God for that matter.).


 

 

Oh by the way, did you see the article

 

'Physicist hit by lightning?'

Thus the reason I still view deism as delusion. Even when confronted with the physical refutation of the guided creation wish, you will still cling to a 'belief'.

How about this equation, Cpt?

Cosmogony is not equal to Cosmology despite a wiki entry rife with idiocy.

Quite the contrary my dear sith lord.

The Higgs mechanism works in wonderful ways in terms of guided creation. You'd be surprised just how compatiable it is.

 

 

Oh and I don't get my info from wiki.
