Talking about the "God" Particle - Interview with Dr. Barry Ritchie

Scientists believe they have finally found the Higgs boson--the so-called "God" particle.  What exactly is the this particle and why are so many people abuzz about it.  Does the God particle somehow contradict the existence of God?

In this special edition of the Come Let Us Reason Together Podcast, Lenny is joined by Arizona State University professor of physics Dr. Barry Ritchie, who explains just what the Higgs boson is and why Christians needn't fear its discovery. They also discuss recent attempts to explain the origin of the universe by appealing to quantum vacuums and how the man of faith can also be a man of science.
