I have no issue with God

Response to your issue with God

My issue is that the Higgs Boson particle has little if anything to do with "God".

People hang on this "God particle" term and endow it with meaning from their religious beliefs.

It doesn't prove God's existence, nor metaphysical experiences.

It's a particle that has been theorized, and would help explain why the Universe is as it is.

To refresh your memory, the Higgs boson is the only fundamental subatomic particle predicted by theory but not yet detected. It's thought to play a role in endowing some particles, such as the W and Z boson, with mass ... while leaving other particles, such as the photon, massless. The Higgs mechanism, proposed by British physicist Peter Higgs and others in the 1960s, could have played a role in electroweak symmetry breaking, which was a key event in the rise of the universe as we know it.
