Ah, but............... people have a nasty habit of trotting out the theory as a fact, when it's not.



They're "searching" for the Higgs Boson but what for? Why call it the God particle?



I would guess the particle might exist but such things beg further questions. Like........



Just where are these magic particles supposed to have come from? Created in the Big Bang eh? OK, what caused the bang and where did that lot come from?



To theorise about things being created from "nothing" makes that all seem less likely than......



The Universe as we know it is only part of The Greater Universe which has no beginning and no end and has existed for ever. "Our" Big Bang was just one of many over the eons of time (time and space which has also existed for ever).



What caused that bang was.... all the Black holes in our Universe eventually consumed each other until everything is in one enormous Black Hole. The immense pressure (gravity) and heat eventually creates "The Big Bang" and off we jolly well go (again).



Is that theory any more outlandish than everything being created from nothing?



It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
