Are Scientists Still Looking for the Higgs Boson?

Are Scientists Still Looking for the Higgs Boson?
Based on my reading, the higgs boson is one of those things that has to exist. The Standard Model requires that there be such a thing as a higgs boson. The universe can exist without god, but it can't exist without a higgs boson. But the particle hasn't actually been identified.

Does this mean that besides the fact that higgs bosons are unstable and have no spin, I. the author, am free to invent behaviors for my character Higgy the Boson?
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.
