Science needs this one unknown/unknowable particle to exist inorder for their theories to work, so based on the idea/preconception that it exists science is working backwards to make sure all their preconceptions fit. Scientists and researchers can't just make stuff up if they intend to ask for the billions of dollars needed to build something like the LHC. They had to justify the time and expense with a lot more than "if we're wrong, it just means the particle is undetectable except by spiritual outreach. Hang on while we reinterpret our sources." And as was already pointed out, had their theories been proven wrong, they would scrap them and work with the facts at hand instead of insisting that it had to exist because the sacred Gospel of Higgs said so.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

Devil's advocate: sometimes, yes. Every once in a while, a mule (offspring of a horse and a donkey) comes out fertile. It's extremely rare, but it does happen.
The Bible confirms this:
"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." Ezekial 23:20 NIV.

I don't know if it is god who made monkey man without soul, but look at Drich, monkey man without soul was indubitably made.

Not the johnny mules. The mollies can be fertile, but they have to bang a horse or a donkey. But hey, we have Neanderthal DNA so I guess it's not the farthest fetched Drich has been, not even in the OP.

Sorry, what theory is that?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

You don't get to call it a theory until it's been thrown to the lions, gets shredded to pieces, but somehow walks out again. Until then it's a hypothesis.
You can also upgrade a theory to a law if you throw it to theoretical lions.

I think he meant "theory" in the sense of "wildly irrational hypothesis."

Now someone not on a mobile has got to post the "My theory about dinosaurs, by Anne Elk (Miss)" video.
