Its the religious whom coined the term, not the scientists, religious said it would never be discovered because it was Gods domain, un testable and unidentifiable, well we found it and sign of God anywhere near it.

That all depends on one's understanding of God, according to my finite understanding of God this only proves what I believed all along, that God is an invisible energy field which fills all space. I've tried to explain many times that God is energy and is in everything, but no one wanted to hear about it.
BTW, the subatomic particle which has come to be known as the God Particle is not the entire explanation of God. There is more, much more.

If ancient kabbalists knew about the Higgs boson, then why didn't they discover it and scoop the Nobel prize? The reason... they didn't know about it and this is the usual revisionism to incorporate a scientific discovery into a belief system.

"this only proves what I believed all along, that God is an invisible energy field which fills all space. I've tried to explain many times that God is energy and is in everything, but no one wanted to hear about it."
Because there is so much rubbish talked by people who try and wrap it up in pseudo-scientific terms that people can spot it a mile off, all the talk about healing energy, positive energy , positive vibrations etc, etc., etc. You hear people selling crystals going on about healing energy, but ask them how much energy a given crystal gives out in a given period of time (i.e. its power rating) then they go a bit vague.
"The ancient kabbalists knew this and now science is catching up to esoteric knowledge."
The ancient kabbalists knew nothing about how the universe works, science has left them way behind. It is very easy to wait for major scientific breakthroughs like this and then retro fit them onto any appropriate verse in what every holy book you like. If in 1964 when Higgs proposed the existence of the Boson would any kabbalist been able to predict the mass of the boson? No, they wouldn't have had a clue.

"If in 1964 when Higgs proposed the existence of the Boson would any kabbalist been able to predict the mass of the boson? No, they wouldn't have had a clue." If in 2012 scientists actually found evidence of the Higgs and managed to measure it's mass I still don't think too many kabbalists would be able to tell you the mass.
