So then science leads towards that main Idea of theism. A semi sentient (if not sentient) thing that can move at will and go to anywhere anytime. And control things to make them happen to its will.

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;18471007]this is ridiculous, these scientists talking about the "higgs particle" like religious people talking about god.
Not saying that all atheists talk about the higgs particle and all religious people talk about god, just the ones who do.[/QUOTE]
There is a [b]huge[/b] difference between science and faith. For the higgs, scientists made a prediction (the higgs itself) which now (among other effects) have to be tested at the LHC. (Science simply works like this).
Religion is more "Well, it is so - Believe it and stop asking questions - BAM".
If you just made this comparison because you actually have no idea about what they are doing: Don't judge.

"God" is meant metaphorically and has nothing to do with "God" itself, yes. And "theoretically" means "it is proven by an experiment" (which it yet isn't). For now it's hypothetically (to keep the difference clear).

You have no clue what the word theoretically means.
Theoretically: In theory. The science behind the proposition works on paper.
Hypothetically: Proposition, usually without any science behind it. Does not need to even remotely make sense.

Hopefully it won't be damaged by somebody's sandwich this time.
New Scientist also posted an interesting article about the future of CERN and the search for the illusive time-mashing Higgs Boson particle.

I actually know the scientific meaning behind it since I study physics. (which quite differs from the "common"-meaning people known - But since this is a thread about physics, scientific definition is applied).
A scientific theory, is a (mathematical) construct describing nature and has experimental evidences. General or Special Relativity are both theories.
A hypotheses is the same, but without any experimental evidences. An example is String-"Theory" which actually is a hypothesis.

–noun, plural -ries.
1. a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena: Einstein's theory of relativity.
2. a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.
3. Mathematics. a body of principles, theorems, or the like, belonging to one subject: number theory.
4. the branch of a science or art that deals with its principles or methods, as distinguished from its practice: music theory.
5. a particular conception or view of something to be done or of the method of doing it; a system of rules or principles.
6. contemplation or speculation.
7. guess or conjecture[/quote]
And yet, I don't see the word "Evidence" in there anywhere.

Although I respect your background in science, I must say that your statement about religion being "Well, it is so - Believe it and stop asking questions - BAM". Keep in mind this only really applys to religions with dogma, those without such as bhuddism and universalism. People who practice those religion have no burden of hell to carry if they change their beliefs or believe a certain scientific theory. And for your final point, I was not judging but merely commenting on progress and what I believe will come of it.
[QUOTE=Sams Brume;18477181]And yet, I don't see the word "Evidence" in there anywhere.[/QUOTE]
Scientific theory is different. Technically NOTHING in science can be established as a true, undeniable fact. Sure, we all know that if we drop a ball an infinite number of times it'll still fall down, but we can't actually PROVE this because we can't drop a ball an infinite number of times to prove that the rule can never be broken.
In science something is at the most respectable and highest level it can be when it's a theory. It has a hypothesis backed up with numerous observations and is hence taken to be the truth (even though in practice NOTHING can really be established as 100% certain due to the fact that we're not omniscient). When it's just an idea alone with not much backing it up, it's a hypothesis.
