The following is a video of a scientist trying to explain the so called discovery of the Higgs Boson particle. See if it makes more sense to you than it did to me.
Here is a supposed definition I found at gotquestions.org in which the author refers to the Higgs Boson as the "god particle". See if this works any better for you.
Question: "What is the God particle?" Answer: The "God particle" is the nickname of a subatomic particle called the Higgs boson. In layman’s terms, different subatomic particles are responsible for giving matter different properties. One of the most mysterious and important properties is mass. Some particles, like protons and neutrons, have mass. Others, like photons, do not. The Higgs boson, or “God particle,” is believed to be the particle which gives mass to matter. The “God particle” nickname grew out of the long, drawn-out struggles of physicists to find this elusive piece of the cosmic puzzle. What follows is a very brief, very simplified explanation of how the Higgs boson fits into modern physics, and how science is attempting to study it. Are you still confused? So am I! You see, I think what is really going on in the "scientific community" is an attempt to connect the dots of all of their origins theories. Science has never produced the human cell and just to think that God created life "ex nihilo" out of nothing! It must be frustrating being a non-believing scientist and trying to fit the puzzle pieces together. Trying to make the theory of evolution make sense somehow. I don't have a physics degree, I just believe the Bible. Here are the pillars of my "origins theory".
Pillar #1
Genesis 1
King James Version (KJV)
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Pillar #2
John 1
King James Version (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Pillar #3
Colossians 1
King James Version (KJV) 17.And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Here is the summary of my "origins theory".
God made everything there is in the entire universe. His name is Jesus aka "the Word". Jesus makes everything consist "hold together" by His omnipotent hand. He is the originator of "mass" and the manager of all mass. That's it, my origins theory in 4 sentences. That was a whole lot less stressful than Prof. Ellis or Wikipedia wasn't it? I believe in the "big bang" too. I believe that Jesus said let there be matter and "bang" there it was!
The scientific "discoveries" that we are witnessing are just further evidences of how far men will stray when they reject the knowledge of God. They become confusing and "vain" in their understanding. I simply have faith in the Biblical record concerning origins and other important questions in life. I have faith that what Jesus said in John 3:16 is true. I am trusting His testimony concerning forgiveness, heaven and eternal life. While I don't have a Ph.D in physics I can tell you that I have supreme assurance that when I die I am going to be with the Lord Himself. Do you have that assurance? The good news is that you can have an absolute sense of certainty concerning your eternal destiny. I want to encourage you to watch the little video in the right sidebar and read other articles on this blog. Trust Christ today!
