The Atheist and the God Particle
An atheistic revival is sweeping America, as seen by the number of bestseller books attacking religion. However, atheism will be facing a serious test as it awaits its own long-anticipated "Coming of the God Particle".
What is the God Particle?
Expected since 1964, the Higgs Boson (nicknamed the God Particle by Nobelist Leon Lederman) underlies much of modern science as the creator of all mass in the Universe. Europe's new Large Hadron Colider (the largest, most powerful in the world) will most certainly find the God Particle in 2009 - or it won't.
Why is the God Particle so important to Atheism?
Atheism relies heavily on science for self-justification, but the God Particle has been the missing link.
Scientists currently believe the collider is sufficient to find the God Particle if it exists. So if it can't be found, there will be serious implications for a large sector of physics and for atheists, which we discuss at length.
While most popular atheistic books are simply attacks on religion with little insight into the meaning and foundation of atheistic beliefs, we spend considerable effort defining the atheist's belief system. We further examine the influence of these beliefs on science, philosophy, and society.
For those who care about atheism, either pro or con, this book is essential to understanding the significance of the Coming of the God Particle. Read it now to fully appreciate the coming test of atheistic belief.
