Yes, the Higgs-boson has finally been discovered, it is the fundamental particle that gives everything mass. To answer where the Higgs-boson comes from as some religious creationists will no doubt stupidly ask. You first have to understand that space and time were created at the instance of the big bang.
There was no before the big bang, there was no time and space so the question is irrelevant. it's like trying to explain colour to someone who is blind, or asking a religious person what was before God? That is not to say that there was nothing as many religious fundamentalists love to say that "something cant come from nothing", particle physics has never ever stated that something came from nothing, quite the opposite. Every particle that exist today has always exited, it is their ignorance and inability to fathom the construct of space and time, and concept of infinity, that and the adherence to religious doctrine that makes them make such a ridiculous claim.
There has never been a more important discovery in terms of understanding how our universe came into being than the Higgs-boson. it fills in the hidden piece, the final missing bit of information long theorized about, but now proven. We will now be able to explain the greatest mystery of all, how the universe was create...

We live in a very interesting time as far as science is concerned, and many of the religious who refuted it's existence will have to eat their words In the coming decade or so as our understanding of it's function will be thoroughly explained. Or more likely bury their head in the sand as the always do.

He did not like the uncertainty quantum theory postulated. But we have learned a lot more about particle physics since his time, and we now know Einstein's view was wrong. You cant get it right all the time :)
"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings."4
However, it would also seem that Einstein was not an atheist, since he also complained about being put into that camp:
"In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views."5

"I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangements of the books, but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God."6
"Evidence for God"
Rich Deem
Also even more telling was when he learned that his views on religion were being distorted by Christian fundamentalists. He wrote "It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it" Science was his god that he was referring to not some ethereal being.
I personally do not believe Higgs boson and God are exclusive to one another. We only just reached the capability to detect the God Particle. If we look deeper (from a scientific perspective), can we possibly explore the make up or origin of the particle itself? A religious scholar might say, science can't recognize the evidence that has been staring them in the face for eons. To them, God (and the evidence of the origins of the universe) is everywhere to be found, if you look within.
I am of another view than yourself. Everything I have ever read, studied, witlessness, had personal experience of indeed whatever endeavour or section of my personal life has lead me to the inexorable conclusion there is no god. Of this I am certain, and I am happy and content in my belief.
The god you refer to is an anathema to me. though you are free to believe in what you like.
Ignorance is definitely a choice for you.
That is only said in fantasy stories and superstitions. It is the religious ideology where the universe is created out of nothing, by a god who mysteriously appears out of no where by magic instantly. Women is cloned from the flesh of a man.
But if you really read the bible, that is not rally true either, as there were people on the earth long before Adam and Eve. And Eve was NOT Adams first wife either. the story gets very complicated from there as nothing is really as straight forward as it sounds as there are far too many inconsistencies in the creation story to make any sense at all.
