  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I thought these articles were interesting although, I haven't read them ALL completely but I will. I would love to see what others think of these subjects. It would be nice if we could have some honest opinions without anyone criticizing or getting mad at others' opinions or thoughts.

If we had done methodological earthism we would not be in outer space today. It's always a good thing to explore new frontiers, but as for the "God particle" well, that's what happens when you want to ignore texts and try to reinvent the wheel. They can try to ignore religion to learn about religion but they'll learn either way.

What is methodological earthism?

I thought the articles I included explained it very well.
i wasnt actually asking you, but if you know thats fine.

i can of course find my own articles, just thought the person who made the comment might like to do a quick sketch on the subject.

I'm going off the title. The Higgs boson /= "God".

Actually, better said is, the Higgs boson is the same as what has been deemed the "God particle" because God is NOT the Higgs boson.

The point is that scientists are actually trying to do one of two things, whether they admit it or not.

One they are trying to disprove that there is a God.

Two they are trying to prove there is a God.

I believe that many whether they admit it or not are hoping to actually find God. It is the cry of every person to know God. It is inherent within every human being to seek God. We are not fulfilled completely any other way. We want and need a relationship with God our Creator.

I realize you could find your own articles, anyone could but I think you will find these articles to be straight forward. I don't think they are slanted one way or another. Just informative. Actually that is why I liked them.

No, not really. It was a joke made by Leon Lederman (one of many). It's only the "God particle" in that it's a lynchpin of the Standard Model, its confirmed existence would allow us to explain several things - and having worked in particle physics briefly, I can tell you it's not a God hunt, and if nothing else, the field seems to have a higher concentration of jokers in it than others.

Trust the God-botherers not to get the joke though. What they misunderstand it to be is of little consequence.

So what is your take on the articles I submitted? And what did you mean the field has a higher concentration of jokers than others?
