Curiosity? Couldn't care less... ;-)
I'm convinced that science "journalists" all ought to be thrashed with a large ballbat on a regular basis for using this sort of purple rhetoric. "God particle" indeed - the Higgs boson has absolutely nothing to do with any sort of deity, whether it be Yahweh, Allah, Kali, Hairy Thunderer or Cosmic Muffin. It's particle physics, f'Petessake, NOT THEOLOGY.
Creationism is the Commerce Clause of theology.
