1964 Penzias/Wilson and Higgs: Coincidence? Confluent Knowledge?

1964 Penzias/Wilson and Higgs: Coincidence? Confluent Knowledge?
I just realized that Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson stumbled on the CMB in the same year the Higgs field was first proposed" 1964.

This may just be a coincidence or it may be that scientific knowledge had reached a point where these men could naturally come to the conclusions they did.

What sayest thou?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
