Scientists are looking for God. Only they call Him “Higgs boson” – a theory developed by University of Edinburgh professor Peter Higgs that there is a yet undiscovered particle at the tiniest center of all things that holds everything together. That’s why they are also calling it the God particle. For the last few days, scientists around the world who study subatomic particles have been holding their collective breaths thinking they may have found what Mr. Higgs theorized about with the aid of a massive particle accelerator in Geneva called the Large Hadron Collider. Others question whether they have truly found Higgs boson or an imposter – something else that is acting like it. The debate is because they actually can’t see the Higgs boson, only its evidence on other particles around it. (Sounds an awful lot like the Spirit that Jesus described as the wind – you can’t see it, only its effect.)
Whether they’ve found what they are looking for or not, all the hoopla around it is a scientific testimony to what the Bible has said all along. Paul, in Colossians 1:17, when describing the attributes of Jesus Christ as God’s Son who contains all of God in His fullness, also says, “He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together,” or as the good old King James version says it “all things consist.” In other words, without Jesus, everything would fly apart.
Don’t you love it when science and the word of God collide? To me, that’s more exciting than the subatomic particles they are throwing at each other in Geneva. The closer scientists get to the building blocks of the universe, the more it becomes necessary to use God to describe what they are seeking. God, and particularly Jesus, is what is holding everything together.
In light of all this there was an editorial cartoon Friday in the Los Angeles Times that had a woman watering her lawn all excited about the new discovery, “Physicists have just confirmed there’s a ‘God Particle’ – the Higgs boson – that binds the universe together and makes all things possible!” While next to her, in a lawn chair, sits what appears to be her husband in a tank top with a bowl of chips and empty cans at his feet saying, “We’re out of beer.” The caption is priceless: “Perspective is everything.”
Indeed it is.
John Fischer The Catch 
I love how every discovery in science truly does just verify more and more the existence of God. You cannot separate the two. God created science and everything scientific. Everything is created so intricately that we are constantly uncovering one more tiny puzzle piece, and it in turn uncovers a whole new puzzle each time. I absolutely do not understand how others can’t see this amazing thing. God has provided us humans with something to marvel and discover that is nearly infinite itself!
Funny thing about science in this respect. They keep finding the “it” that started it all, but no matter what they discover the same question still remains…..
Where did “it” come from? Eventually, they have to admit that “something” came from nothing. No matter how much science progresses, we will never be able to answer that ultimate question. It’s the same as asking this…..
If God created it all, then where did He come from?
” I AM “, is His simple answer…. but then, not everyone can receive this “like a little child”, and therefore know the answer to that big question.
I drew about the same conclusion when I read about this in an E-mail from Kim Komando earlier today. You did provide information that she did not. Thank you.
No matter if science can explain the how. It is still left with the question WHY. A single atom (which has no brain) decides to join with other atoms to form a molecule and so on until a being with a brain is made to decide anything. The luck factor doesn’t get it for me. The Creator factor does. I guess that makes me single minded and thats ok with me, it doesn’t hurt, really. If someone wants to strain themself with such an unproductive and costly activity, it is their choice. Side note. “God Particle” wasn’t it’s first nickname. What was was so typical of the world view.
