I was watching a "scientific" program the other day, completely unaware that it was being hosted by a creationist. He was talking about particle physics, Max Plank, and some other stuff. He was talking about genetics and how a sperm cell contains half of who we are and I think there was a little determinism in there somewhere, ie: that cell dictates who and what we'll be when we're living, and what we'll do. And he said that if you look with a big enough microscope you'll get down to the atom level, then the point-particle level, etc etc.
Eventually he got to the Higgs Field, which he claimed to be God, or at least the creator of all things, and a very benevolent force, how he assumed that I dunno.
My question is: why do creationists think the Higgs Field is God? I'm assuming they do, from what I saw on that show. This seems to be the newer side of creationism that tries to be more scientific.... Any thoughts? Does anyone think the same way?

I don't care what the truth is as long as it's the truth.

Where are you thinking this should go?
And you are aware of the book Titled "God Particle" published back about a decade ago?

As far as I'm concerned it doesn't really matter where this should go.
Yeah I've read that book actually and I found it was really interesting. My point in all this was that the Higgs field is a scientific creation and it can't really be called God, or even benevolent! Which I see christians doing on TV.
