Humans, with their remarkable tools

"Humans, with their remarkable tools wholesale rayban sunglasses and their remarkable brains, may have just taken a giant step toward replacing metaphysical speculation with empirically verifiable knowledge," he wrote. With enough data, physics would make God obsolete, he said. "If we can describe the laws of nature back to the beginning of time without any supernatural shenanigans, it becomes clear that you don't need God." Religious believers see things differently. Vatican astronomer Guy Consolmagno argued in a Washington Post column that scientifically deduced universal laws expose "the personality" of God. "The mysteries revealed by modern science are a constant reminder that reality is bigger than our day-to-day lives," he wrote. Alternative oakley sunglasses clearance medicine guru Deepak Chopra said in a YouTube video that the boson hints at a divine interconnectedness of all things. "It only strengthens the notion that the universe comes out of a nothingness which is everything," he said. This much is true: Higgs bosons -- which permeate the universe -- help us understand how something comes from nothing. The awe we feel with this heady topic causes even nonreligious people to use religious language, said Philip Clayton, dean of Claremont School of Theology and a researcher of science and religion.
