However I try to keep my mind fresh in various fields of physics so I don't forget everything. My quamtum mechanics page is at http://home.comcast.net/~peter.m.brown/qm/qm.htm

I did notice that you used a general term for what you're talking about which is quantum chromodynamics. And as I understand it, that theory predigs a Higgs boson and a top quark, neither of which has been detected yet.

There's emergence to consider. Of course, if you're an IDiot, emergence is the last word you want to hear.
And no. It is not neccesarily true that hinting at a creator would draw insults. That's not the way adults act. This is a discussion forum. And just because people disagree in something it would be childish to insult back as a logical response.
The reason I started this thread was to see the thoughts of atheists about something they might have had an inadequate time explaining one thing and then something comes along which makes it easy to explain.
It was a serious mistake to label this thred as I did. It's leading people to focus on something I have no interest in disussing. Is it possible to change the heading of this thread?
