aka Higgs-boson It is the partical in partical physics that supposedly ties everything/partical physics as we currently understand it together. (it explains the 'gap' as to why some particals have mass while other do not.)

The problem? Their is absolutely NO EVIDENCE what so ever for it. That is why the Hadron Super Colider was supposedly built. The Hadron Colider was a 15 billion dollar Initial (meaning start up costs, not the billions that have been spent to run and repair) leap of faith that proved to be unfounded/false. Because this project (after years and years of failures) has yet yield proof of the Higgs-Boson. It simply reproduced the results on a much larger and far better documented scale what all the other colliders have already been telling us.

So what does 'science' do? It moves the goal posts and says that the decay rate of the higgs/boson is so fast our best instruments can not detect it... So to put it in terms you've used in the OP.
'Science' has faith that it's (We can replace) god partial exists. so much so that thousands of scientists got together put their reputations on the line got a 15 billion dollar grant and built the hadron collider. Now when they did what they said they needed to do to yield 'proof' None was found. Matter of fact the exact same things were found in all other smaller colliders.
The point?
Even in 'science' lack of evidence is not 'proof' something does not exist. or if it is then in 'science' Faith is all one needs to believe what they/we want to believe. better stated, Faith is enough to justify belief (15 Billion Dollar collider) even in science.

I heard what you were saying. You know nothing of the Higgs Boson.

Maybe you should try spreading this uneducated bullshit in a forum that isn't frequented by a specialist for Higgs Boson physics. Shush!
You get an enthusiastic kudos for your Annie Hall reference. Well played, sir.
