Because the scientific sources say we've accumulated enough evidence through the LHC to confirm the existence of the Higgs Boson.If he is referring to the documentary Particle Fever, that one does indeed show the moment when they used the LHC to confirm the existence of Higgs Boson.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
