The God Particle

PBS aired an Independent Lens program about the Fermi lab super collider. The physics interested me so I watched the program in its entirety. There was the typical liberal bellyaching about funding cuts, but what disturbed me the most, was the gratuitous shot the producers took at religious believers. The narrator mocked the state of Kansas for allowing the "supernatural" to be considered in the science curricula. The program focused largely on the search for the so-called Higgs Boson, the theorized foundational particle on which all matter exists. This God particle as the physicists called it has not been discovered despite efforts of several decades and hundreds of millions of dollars spent. The researchers, undoubtedly both sincere in their quest and diligent, are barking up the wrong tree. To find the Uncaused First Cause, they should open a Bible.
