The God Principle

Physicists are racing against time trying to unlock the Higgs boson. Called the "God particle", this particle is quite controversial because it is the only elementary particle known to bestow mass on other particles. Scientists are trying to prove its existence because the boson explains how mass came into being.

"The Higgs boson is interesting because it is the only reasonable explanation we have for the origin of mass," says Dave Rainwater, a researcher at FermiLab. "Without the Higgs, all fundamental particles would be massless, and the universe would be very different. The weak nuclear forces wouldn't be weak at all, for instance, so the elemental composition of the cosmos would be radically different, stars would shine differently, and we probably wouldn't exist."

Discovering Higgs is a billion-dollar undertaking. Colliders are being built for this. Physicists are dead-set on their quest for the Higgs. Why? Aside from being "the crowning glory of science", proving that Higgs exists may give man the capacity or the power to create mass.

This power to create mass, if you look at it very closely, bestows on man the power of being God. We know of God being the creator. But of what? The Creator of everything. And what is everything? Everything means all creation. And all creation has mass.

The concept of god, therefore, is of a being with the unique ability to create something out of nothing. Or manipulating certain laws to create mass.

Unlocking the mysteries of elementary particles like what these physicists are trying to do, will give them what God has. This is the true Holy Grail--the ability to create something out of nothing. If physicists succeeds in this experiment, they may discover the principle behind creation--and of--God.

So, what if they succeed in 2010 in unlocking the Higgs, will the pillars of religion be smashed into tiny pieces? Will science finally succeed over religion? If Higgs exists, then, it repudiates everything we believe to be true about God. The reason why man believes in God in the first place is God's superiority over man, particularly in creation. If man, by himself, and by operation of certain laws existing in the universe can create something out of nothing, then, there really is no God! God may be some other being of higher intelligence that knows the laws of the universe, applied it here and created everything we see now.

It may be that god does not exists all all. That things came into being as a natural result or progression of something.

Thousands of years of human quest for god may just end in a 30 kilometer long proton collider somewhere in the United States.

This blog aims to present all Ancient writings on the concept of God or the God principle. Four years ago, I wrote a book about God entitled, "The Holy Way Towards the City of the Lord". This book explained how the Ancient biblical writers wrote their philosophical constructs on god.
Now, this blog will try to be different. I will try to present a wholistic view of how the Ancients perceive about god. Like the physicists of Today, I will try to present the viewpoints of the Ancients about god and see if it jives with recent scientific discoveries in nature.
