Physics, like all science, is the practice of creating mathematical models to explain natural phenomena, and then the attempt to experimentally validate the models. Mathematics is a way to systematize and quantize thought. Neither discipline creates reality, but those devoted to them would like to think that they do. You start with the notion that if you can understand something, then you can control it. There is very little more pleasing to our fleshly nature than the idea of being in control (being as God.) It's a very short step from the notion of controlling realities to the notion of creating them. Sanitariums are full of people who do this to their own detriment. The fact that a man may come up with a mathematical model for universes spontaneously bubbling into existance, doesn't validate the man's hypothesis, but only proves that the imagination can be expressed in a systematized way. Many early "scientists" were actually primarily philosophers, that is, they were searching for truth, but not in scripture. Such men distrusted orthodoxy and sought to realize truth through the study of the natural world. Rebellion against authority in the name of truth is nothing new. When you abandon the notion of absolute Truth as revealed by God Himself, for the seeking of truth in the observation of a fallen creation, you start out building a world view built upon a flawed reality; one marred by sin. Modern science is concerned largely with suppressing truth rather than seeking it. The scientific community is a new orthodoxy which punishes those whose perception of reality is honest in its recognition of a creator, by expulsion from the community. Does this sound familiar? It should if you've ever been exposed to history with regard to the formally excepted orthodox churches of europe and asia minor. A form of orthodoxy is necessary in every society for the continuity of acceptible practice, or simple pragmatism. Orthodoxy however is not the equivalent of Truth.
The bottom line: The "god particle" is so named as to lend credibility to the notion that all existance is accidental and to remove God from the "equation" of life and it's purpose. If you can explain the existance of our universe as a simple physcial principle to the satisfaction of your own mind, then you can justify ignoring your conscience and that aspect of eternity that God has written upon the hearts of all men. "Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man and birds and four footed animals and creeping things," (and imaginary particles.)
Albert Einstein was an early hero of mine, but he demonstrates the tragedy of seeking to determine truth through the study of a fallen world. Mr. Einstein reached the conclusion that the orderliness of the universe demanded the existance of a god and creator, but he rejected the God of the bible in favor of one of his own imagination. Einstein was unable to reconcile the existance of good and evil with the concept of a benevolent God, and perhaps this had to do with his being a Jew in a time when the persecution of Jews had reached a horrific crescendo in the rise to power of Adolf Hitler over a Nazi vision of Germany. I won't make excuses for the man. In the end he was a fool.
The definitive proof of the existance of a "god particle" would validate the world's attempt to marginalize all faith, not just biblical faith, in much the same way that finding the body of our savior would invalidate a belief in the resurrection. However, no such body will be found because He is risen and no such particle will ever be found because it doesn't exist. (If it were found we would cease to exist, as two universes can't coexist in the same physical space any more than two particles with the same spin state can share the same subatomic orbital.) If there is a clever mathematician/physicist reading the thread that would like to prove me wrong, I'll remind him that mathematical proof is not proof of reality, but only a self-validation of thought (and imagination.)
As an example, the imaginary number (i) which is defined as the square root of -1 has use in mathematics and can be manipulated following the rules created for that purpose, yet the square of a negative number has no real existance. Some people will put their faith in the constructs of the minds of men. I however, will keep my faith in God, who created all men and gave us the power to create imaginary constructs and thereby enable us to solve practical problems in our day to day lives. Blessed be the Lord through whose grace we live and breathe, even our Savior Jesus Christ who lives and reigns forever. Amen.
