The God Particle

Physicists have to be the most stubborn and hard headed people on the planet.  They are constantly searching for the origin of the universe when it is right under their noses.  Recently, scientists in Geneva, Switzerland at the "world's biggest atom smasher" have concluded that they have gathered enough evidence to prove that the Higgs boson, which is a partilcle first proposed in the 60's, actually exists.  The article is here (God particle?).  Supposedly this particle is one that gives other subatomic particles like protons, neutrons and electrons their mass.  They are hesitant to say outright that they have discovered this particle and will only say that they have seen its footprints.

Billions of dollars have been poured into this research.  Entire countries could have eaten well with the money spent trying to find this elusive particle that some physicists and atheists are hoping disproves the existence of God.  They have even give the particle the name of God.  That is blasphemous in itself.  Jews won't even put the o in G_d and yet this particle that began as a concept in the mind of physicist Peter Higgs, a finite particle that can be created, is given the name of the infinite God that has no creator!  God says in Isaiah 43:10 that there was NO god formed before Him and after Him there will be none.  God's claim to exclusivity is His right, he did actually create everything!  We know that there will none after Him because He is eternal and has no end.

This brings me to the eternal question.  Scientists willingly admit that this is not really a "discovery" but they are close.  They admit that the universe had a beginning which they are seeking to ascribe to this particle.  However, there is a fundamental question that no one has even dared to tread on...who created the "God particle"?  Where is its origin?  Did this particle simply materialize out of nothingness?  OR, does it actually have a Creator?  Now, the physicists will scoff at this question but even the "God particle" must have come from a "pre-God particle" which had to come from a "pre-pre-God particle" which had to come from a "pre-pre-pre-God particle"!  You see, this is an endless search for the origin of the universe that will never end until these people admit that there HAD TO BE A CREATOR!  In their stubborness, they will not admit that if the God particle came out of nothing then the second law of thermodynamics has been violated.

To many, these types of discoveries push them even further into the depths of atheism.  The name of the particle says volumes about the character of these people.  They want a God that they can create.  They are smashing protons into one another and hoping that out of the collision and the energy released that they will find the source of the proton.  If they find this particle, this Higgs boson, then they can rest in their conclusion that there is no God.  Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, the late Christopher Hitchens, Ricky Gervais and other atheists will leap for joy if this particle is discovered only to find out that their joy will be short lived when they have to answer to the Great Creator, the One without Whom nothing was made, the One who upholds all things by the word of His power!  Colossians 1:16-17 says everything that these physicists are searching for.  Two verses out of thousands of verses of scripture give them the answer that they seek, yet they will disown scripture as a fairy tale.  Colossians 1:16-17 "For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together(emphasis added)."  William Dembski's take on creation and how Christ was active in creation is crystal clear- John says "in the beginning was the Word (Logos) and the Word was with God and the Word was God..."  Genesis says "and the LORD spoke and said let there be light and there was light..."  So Christ, the divine Logos, the divine Word was spoken at creation by the Father thereby making him coequal-creator with the Father and the essence of all things created.  Christ is the creative power and the creative force of God.  You want your God particle, He is sitting at the right hand of the Father and He is coming back to judge the world!

Even if they do discover this particle, it will mean nothing to Christians that know the origin of all things.  It is a noble effort but at the same time such a fleeting discovery for such an exorbitant cost seems to be a lopsided victory.  A bible for $10 bucks could answer the very question that they have spent billions on.  Sure, they will write this off  as mumbo jumbo but to those of us that believe God, it is the power of God!  It is the foolishness that the world writes off as nothing of which God says, I will use this very same "foolishness" to demonstrate my power!  I will use the weak things to shame the mighty and the foolish things to shame the wise.  I don't need to understand everything all I need to know is that there is a God sitting on His throne that is sovereign over the entire universe, and IF the "God particle" exists, he's even sovereign over that.
