Is the “God Particle” the link between science and religion? [View all]

It probably depends on your relationship with God, and just how important the creationist theory is in your faith. Beyond that, there is the belief in Christ that is necessary to be a true Christian. Further, religious fundamentalism is an organized, militant Evangelical movement insisting on the inerrancy of Scripture. Even more complicated is the term, “Rapture,” which is shared by many fundamentalists to explain the second coming of Christ.

So have you heard of the Higgs boson discovery, better known as the “God Particle,” without which, scientists tell us, there would be no life in the universe. Fundamentalists and Southern Baptists will no doubt have a big problem with this in relation to the creationist theory. But many will say this doesn’t matter as long as you stick to your beliefs, and there are always those who search, even demand, that we discover the secret to creation and salvation.

An Agnostic might say this is what I have been telling you all along. Since this group does believe in a God of sorts, because they can’t comprehend of a universe this complex without a creative entity, Higgs boson could be the answer to many questions. Supposition might go something like this: a deity created the “God Particle” and science took it from there in the form of the evolution of man. The term “evolution” could even take on a more positive approach in religion.

There is a huge chasm between ideology like the God Particle and passionate religious beliefs, but his new finding will probably never completely replace evolution. Or will it?
