Why should it mean anything special for creationists?

God either created the Higgs or he didn't. This science illuminates God. That's all.

It's not an argument for or against creationism.

(Although if you believe God created the world, then just say it. There is nothing wrong with believing that. But don't hide behind a psudo-science like creationism.)

I guess maybe this is a misconception based on the media having come up with the stupid label of "the God particle"?

Leon Lederman, an experimental physicist, was the one who first used the term god particle as the title for his book. There are many things to vilify the science media for, but this is not one of them.

He wanted to name the book "The Goddamn Particle" initially -- as a reference to its elusiveness -- but the publisher wore him down.
