So we can call it the Shiva particle, and noone will object? Problem solved?

The thing is that the Higgs particle has nothing to do with religion, none whatsoever!

Only one scientist called it that and the media ran with it.

The Higgs particle, sorry, I mean the Shiva particle isn't mentionned in the bible. Neither is evolution. Either both is within the creation, or neither.

Is the Higgs particle the same thing as what Gel Mann called "Omega Minus" ?

I forgot, I think.

Nope probably. Omega Minus is old stuff going back to the 60s !

And that's religion, not science.

Higg's particle is heavy science. If you can believe in this particle, then evolution is not a problem, as it is much easy to explain than the Higgs field and particle.

You wouldn't care if it was named "The Shiva Particle"? Thought so.

Your gods creation is not science. Higgs particle is. Your religion cannot ever be science. Why pretend it is?

Suppose the discovery of the Higgs particle, the so called god particle, can be used to prove the true age of the universe, then its very existance would be denied by YECs.
