Does the discovery of the “God Particle” mean that mankind is coming too close to God? Are we humans again trying to do the same thing as our ancient ancestors did when they tried to build the Tower of Babel in order to “see God”? Or, like in theories by people like Nikloa Tesla for harnessing the solar magnetic energy generated by the sun, will mankind be able to benefit by knowing more about our cosmic origins?
The revelation of further controlled big bang-like explosions in the multinational CERN research center headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, has resulted in the discovery of what is being called Higgs Boson or “God Particle” and it is creating a lot of excitement in international scientific circles.
The CERN Center, home of the Large Hadron Collider, an underground immense micro particle accelerator, is claimed to have produced new data on the new “sub atomic” particle by colliding protons.
The Collider is located deep underground at the border between France and Switzerland. All of this research is based on a theory espoused more than 40 years ago by Peter Higgs, a physics professor at the University of Edinburgh. Professor Higg’s theory concerning finding a Standard Model for all matter in the universe had been a topic of scientific thought for years and revolved around ideas that the so called “Big Bang” that may have created the Universe resulted in a universe that contains similar cosmic materials as well.
Enter the Middle East – that cradle of human civilization where mankind’s great monopolistic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam were born. The Bible, which describes how life on earth was created by a higher power, i.e. God, also begins with the phrase: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
Although the story of the creation has not been accepted by everyone here on earth, it has been accepted by a large enough percentage of the inhabitants of this planet, even though the interpretation of this story has not always been universal.
But along with this, the first book of the Bible, the Book of Genesis, also describes what happened to mankind when they tried to “build us a city and a tower, with its top in heaven.” The story of the tower of Babel continues to this day to be one of the most classic examples of the result of mankind endeavoring to come too physically close to God.
In the modern age we live in, weapons of mass destruction are capable of destroying humankind. Along with this, the ravages of global warming and climate change, said by many to have been caused by our abuse of this plant, may soon become irreversible. With these realities in mind, it makes one wonder as to whether the quest by physicists such as Peter Higgs and Dr. Rolf Dieter-Huer, Director General of the CERN multinational research center, which built the Large Hadron Collider, is not unlike ancient mankind’s desire to “a build a tower with its top in heaven” in order to be one with God?
The Big Bang is only one of many theories of how the universe was created; and scientists realize that they still are only aware of only about 4 per cent of the entire universe. This includes all known galaxies, nebulae and of course what are known as “black holes”.
Scientists who have been involved in the Higgs Boson particle research project will be studying their supposed find for years; and as one door of knowledge is opened, more still unopened doors will remain.
As to present goings on in the Middle East, new ‘towers of babel’ continue to be built while the area environment continues to pay the price of man’s abuse of his natural world.

Maurice Picow grew up in Oklahoma City, U.S.A., where he received a B.S. Degree in Business Administration. Following graduation, Maurice embarked on a career as a real estate broker before making the decision to move to Israel. After arriving in Israel, he came involved in the insurance agency business and later in the moving and international relocation fields. Maurice became interested in writing news and commentary articles in the late 1990’s, and now writes feature articles for the The Jerusalem Post as well as being a regular contributor to Green Prophet. He has also written a non-fiction study on Islam, a two volume adventure novel, and is completing a romance novel about a forbidden love affair. Writing topics of particular interest for Green Prophet are those dealing with global warming and climate change, as well as clean technology - particularly electric cars.
Those scientists are trying to discover a source of unlimited energy so they can expand into the Cosmos and exploit everything for the greater wealth and glory of power-mad human beings, exactly like a cancer cell speading out into its parent body, which is what the Cosmos is: a physical body. Einstein’s unified field theory is correct: the same physical laws that govern the Microcosm also govern the Macrocosm. Every atom is a tiny star, every star a gigantic atom, etc. We need to think about this before we advance any further. As it is now, our heavily polluted planet Earth may not live long enough to support much more technological “progress”.
“The Big Bang is only one of many theories of how the universe was created” Gravity is also just a theory but I don’t see you jumping off cliffs now do I? The fairly tale stories in religious text are not valid theories or even theories for that matter as to the origins of the universe. If anything all religious text should have a sticker placed on the cover that says “of course this could all be B.S.as it has no scientific or historical evidence to back its claims”
