• others believe the end of human civilization will occur if they produce higgs boson

How would higgs boson prove the existence of god? I thought it was the other way around. And why some believe civilization would end if found? Just really curious about the comments, and couldn't find much googling around.

Someone called Leon Lederman wrote a book titled "The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question?", and the media started referring to the Higgs Boson as "The God Particle".
The two possiblities mentioned originally are just more nonsense from one or other lunatic fringe.
