Indeed! That is why they built a 100 billion dollar hadron super collider. 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.
FAIL.
The LHC was built in order to determine (among other things) whether or not the Higgs-Boson actually exists. Physicists would have been equally satisfied with evidence against the Higgs-Boson as with evidence for it. That's how science works: Hypotheses are put forward, and attempts are made to prove or disprove those hypotheses.
Scientists are just as pleased to have hypotheses disproved as to have them substantiated. Why? Because they are interested in determining what the actual facts are, not in supporting their preconceived notions of the Universe.
Science can afford to prove all previous concepts wrong. Religion cannot.
