Higgs Boson Particle Found

[Hitchens]

I would call them absurd, because they are. There is a distinct difference between keeping an open mind and having a hole in your head from which your brains leak out.

Why is it absurd ?

[Hitchens]

Because a god of the gaps argument is the same argument regardless of how you dress it up.

This might be the perfect time to bump my thread. But now introducing the Higgs Boson!

Because it doesn't agree with preconceived notions of course. That's what it boils down to no matter you embellish it.

I hope everyone here realizes that the possible discovery of the Higgs Boson has nothing to do whatsoever with proving or disproving God. Nothing at all. It's a fantastic possible discovery but why do people insist on bringing religion into it? One has nothing to do with the other.

(We know why they do though. Because they're looking for anything to support their preconceived notions. They won't admit it though because they know they're grasping at straws.)
