When I came across the Hebraic Roots Network on-demand website I watched a video by Brad Scott called “The God Particle.” I started the series from the beginning and I got to say it is amazing. He talks about the Bible from a scientific point of view. He helps us understand that what scientists are searching for, God has already told us in the beginning, in Genesis. It is a remarkable series that will give you a whole new perspective on what God is trying to tell us through His word and His creation.
I echo and paraphrase the words of Brad Scott, “Don’t listen to this and think ‘so this is what the Bible really means.’ Then throw out everything you knew before. Instead, realize there are different levels of understanding, different pieces to the puzzle and eventually all the pieces will come together. And right now, this is only one piece of the puzzle.”
What is the God Particle?
The ‘God particle’ is the nickname of a subatomic particle called the Higgs boson. In layman’s terms, different subatomic particles are responsible for giving matter different properties. One of the most mysterious and important properties is mass. Some particles, like protons and neutrons, have mass. Others, like photons, do not. The Higgs boson, or ‘God particle,’ is believed to be the particle which gives mass to matter. The ‘God particle’ nickname grew out of the long, drawn-out struggles of physicists to find this elusive piece of the cosmic puzzle.” (http://www.gotquestions.org/God-particle.html)

Here is a version of “The God Particle” teaching. This one was done at Freedom Baptist Church in Amarillo, Texas. Here is a PowerPoint file in pdf format.
