Hints of a God-particle glimpsed; much bigger hints of God ignored.

'Scientists are set to confirm they have caught a glimpse of the elusive 'God particle' - the so far theoretical concept that helps to explain some of the mysteries of the Universe.'

I find this fascinating.

Only slight emendations are needed to suggest that scientists have found exciting hints of the existence of God, the so far theoretical concept that helps to explain (all of) the mysteries of the Universe.

Moreover, the glimpse of this concept, as opposed to the Higgs boson particle, will take us back to long before, as opposed to just after, the 'Big Bang' or however one characterises the moment when all things began.

Why is so much evidence for God ignored and so little evidence of a conjectural particle greeted with so much enthusiasm?

I am all for scientific advance, and if something big has been discovered that will help us to think God's thought after him, then that is great. But how tiny our minds appear when we insist on thinking this through in a God-less framework.
