RUSH: This is from Reuters: ‘British physicist Peter Higgs said on Monday it should soon be possible to prove the existence of a force which gives mass to the universe and makes life possible — as he first argued 40 years ago. Higgs said he believes a particle named the ‘Higgs boson\u2019, which originates from the force, will be found when a vast particle collider at the CERN research centre on the Franco-Swiss border begins operating fully early next year.\u2019 By the way, it is this vast particle collider at the CERN research centre that they say could replace the Internet, with speeds so fast that you\u2019ll be able to download a high definition movie, a two-hour high definition movie in three seconds. They\u2019re going to use a particle accelerator and collider for it. ‘The likelihood is that the particle will show up pretty quickly … I\u2019m more than 90 percent certain that it will,\u2019 Higgs told journalists.<\/p>\n

In other words, he\u2019s looking for a ‘God particle.\u2019 He\u2019s looking for a particle to prove God. Dr. Higgs, please, just look out the window. You see that tree? You see the grass? Whatever is outside your window, all of it, it\u2019s God particles. Every aspect of it is God particles. ‘The 78-year-old\u2019s original efforts in the early 1960s to explain why the force, dubbed the Higgs field, must exist were dismissed at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Today, the existence of the invisible field is widely accepted by scientists, who believe it came into being milliseconds after the Big Bang created the universe–‘ there\u2019s no way that anybody could possibly know this. At any rate, ‘Scientists at the centre hope the process will produce clear signs of the boson, dubbed the ‘God particle\u2019 by some, to the displeasure of Higgs, an atheist,\u2019 naturally. Naturally it would be an atheist doing this research.<\/p>\n

At any rate, what interests me about this — (interruption) Well, now, wait. No, no, no, no, no, no. Mr. Snerdley just said to me there are a lot of physicists that believe in God. Be very careful. Ben Stein has a movie coming out that I have screened at my house, it\u2019s called Expelled, and it is about people, scientists who are being fired and shunned for their belief in intelligent design. These are Darwinists. Just for questioning Darwinism and just for being open to the possibility of intelligent design. These people fear God. These scientists, they fear God because God has the answers, God\u2019s smarter than they are. God\u2019s judgmental. That\u2019s one of the things that liberals and atheists hate about religion anyway is that it\u2019s judgmental. But regardless, I think you\u2019ll find some scientists, physicists particularly. I can\u2019t remember his name, there was one old coot who is close to death, and this goes back a year or two ago, but he\u2019d been a lifelong opponent of the whole notion that anything here was created, that it was just random and miraculous but there was nothing intelligent behind any of this, and he\u2019s finally concluded, near his deathbed that an accident can\u2019t explain this. He wouldn\u2019t go so far as to say that there\u2019s a God. In fact, one of these guys in Ben Stein\u2019s movie, guy named Hawkins who\u2019s over at Oxford I think, Oxford or Cambridge, Ben Stein goes over and interviews him in this movie, Expelled. The movie hits April 12th or the 16th. And he said, ‘Can you explain the origins of life with Darwinism?\u2019 ‘No, we can\u2019t. Well, actually we can, but we don\u2019t.\u2019<\/p>\n

Stein then asks him, ‘Where did all this come from? The guy actually says, ‘Perhaps an intelligent race from outer space landed on our planet gazillions of years ago and got all this rolling. But there\u2019s no way,\u2019 says Hawkins, ‘it could be God, there\u2019s just no way. But it might be some people from outer space.\u2019 And this guy is an elitist theorist and professor at Oxford and Cambridge. It\u2019s a fascinating movie. Eighty-two percent of the people in this country believe in God. Forty-one percent are Darwinists. Darwinists are more than just believing in evolution. Darwinists are now a very closed society, they do not allow anybody to disagree with what they think. They shun and fire anybody in their midst that is open to anything other than Darwinism. Darwinism is natural selection, survival of the fittest, actually eugenics. Darwinism seeks to get rid of people who are not up to par. Darwinists are not big tent people. They are not big tent people.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
