now... what happens when 2 higgs boson particles collide?

Pssh, There is no logic in religion...

[hisham borghol]

my atheists friends im a believer of god , but you are still not answering me my question

now i do believe in the higgs boson and it did start the big bang , i do not believe in the multi universe theory though

but here is my question

who found the higgs boson or the particle which the universe was made out of in the first place

were they just happened to be ?

or were they made ?

Think of gravity and the higgs field as having a kind of symbiotic relationship. Both are explained as a random accident by atheists like Steven Hawking. On the subject of gravity, Hawking says, "some universes may have none, while in ours we got lucky." We don't know why they exist or how they were created. Yet each of these would be worthless without the other. That's intelligent design, and an example of why Christians love science.

You generations of vipers will look for a sign but will not receive a sign

I agree with most of what you write, but we can not completely rule out a divine inspiration to religion in the world either, because nothing has disproved that it might have happened or will happen, so the possibility is always there. And although religion is purely man-made idea, it will always have an impact on humans as it has shaped our civilization and understanding of the world for better or worse.

In the words of Neil Tyson DeGrasse "God is an ever receding pocket of scientific ignorance." Basically science is going to provide answers for all of the currently mysterious phenomenon. Think of the Egyptian Sun god once we understood why the sun rose and set everyday (unless you are Bill O'Reilly) he disappeared as he was no longer needed. There may very well be a god but it is nothing like the one described by man made religions.

disprove religion?!!!! How the hell would the higgs boson disprove god? that isnt the intention, and the higgs boson wasnt attended to be called "the god particle" in the first place! Its like calling UFOs for flying saucers, since it resembled it when witnessed in 1940s.

Science presents the evidence that tells us with greater confidence that this and that is real. Relgion likes to explain things without testing to see if it maybe true, so there is no reason to believe in religion because they don't present evidence. Without evidence there is no reason to belief in it. Makes sence to believe in what science tells us because the hard work of many men and women brought us wether somethibgncould be ture or not.

Kaku says "itself" so many times, I must admit it adds that extra spice into it but eventually it loses the spice it was meant for D:

Or maybe they can :3
