Scientists continue to search for the God Particle        
August 2004

A God Particle?  Remembering from elementary and high-school science an atom is made up of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons.  Protons and Neutrons are stuffed into the center in a core, while electrons fly around much like the moon travels around the earth.  More like the planets travel around the Sun.   Hmm... like it was designed that way.

In any case, something is missing in the thinking of modern scientists - how do you keep Proton's and Neutrons together stuffed into that central core?  We know that gravity pulls objects down to the earth, but where does gravity itself come from?  So, a similar question is asked, where is the force that keeps these elements together in the atom core?  

Now, you may have played with magnets - each magnet held end-to-end either attracts another magnet, or repels the other magnet.  It's said if the "poles" are opposite, there will be attraction.  If the poles are "the same" the magnets will repel.  An Atom's particles have similar characteristics, per the thoughts of modern science.  A positive particle attracts a negative particle - they are opposites.
Therefore, a Proton ( positive ) should attract an Electron ( negative ).  This, therefore makes the mystery above even more mysterious... if the core is filled with Positive Protons, they should be repelled from each other, not stuck together as a core.  Something must be holding them together.

Enter the "God Particle".  Something scientists believe exists to hold things together.  There is now a proposal to create a new "collider" apparatus to smash atom's ( one against another ) to see as it breaks apart if they can find the "God Particle".  It's been elusive, it's been impossible to find, it's been - invisible.  

Here's the real world thinking of what the "God Particle" is...
    the particle that is theorized to give rise to mass itself--apparently exists at higher energy levels than where scientists have been searching.   ( reference: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2004-06/uor-tqm060904.php )

    They call it the God particle: a mysterious sub-atomic fragment that permeates the entire universe and explains how everything is the way it is. Nobody has ever seen the God particle; some say it doesn't exist but, in the ultimate leap of faith, physicists across the world are preparing to build one of the most ambitious and expensive science experiments the world has ever seen to try to find it.    ( reference: http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/news/story/0,12976,1287776,00.html )

I will select some specific words used by scientists:
    theorized to give rise to mass itself -  This certainly does sound like scientists are looking to disprove that a Real and True God gave rise to mass itself.   ( Mass is the "stuff" that all things are made from. )

More words from the scientists above:
    some say it doesn't exist but, in the ulitmate leap of faith - This certainly sounds like faith placed in the merits of what a man can discover vs. the leap of faith that is required to say - without a doubt - that God Himself designed and gave rise to it all.  It doesn't take faith to build a "collider".  That takes money, time, skill.  I question those who don't build in faith with a question.  If you find nothing, will you Then believe that God is God and it is He who holds all things together?

Consider these words:

Job 38
 1.  Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
 2.  "Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
 3.  Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me.
 4.  "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.
 5.  Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?
 6.  To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,
 7.  when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
 8.  "Or who shut in the sea with doors, when it burst forth and issued from the womb;
 9.  when I made the clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band;
 10.  when I fixed My limit for it, and set bars and doors;
 11.  when I said, `This far you may come, but no farther, and here your proud waves must stop!'

Ecclesiastes 8
 16.  When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night,
 17.  then I saw all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. For though a man labors to discover it, yet he will not find it; moreover, though a wise man attempts to know it, he will not be able to find it.

How much money will we spend before we have spent too much searching for something that cannot be found?  Are there better things to spend our money on, like widows and orphans?  People need to be fed, housed, educated. Opportunites exist to create things for the many with the money to allocated to this "collider" project, if it was turned to more humitarian relief.  Why suggest this over scientific goals?  Cause ( as stated in Ecclesiastes ), he will not be able to find it.   My faith lies in this Word, the Word of God.  Let's get smart.

Isaiah 55
 2.  Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance.

God loves you.

He is so merciful.

God bless you on your journey. I love you too.
