Literalist xtians have a great deal of trouble with even the concept of a metaphor.

Blows their fucking minds.

Yeah, I know, that's the first thing I learned when I read up on it. I just prefer the original name. The name sort of tells a story.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

This is what they all do, this is what humans regardless of label have always done. When facts conflict with their tradition, they resort to trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. So if Christians are going to pounce on the god particle, of course it would not surprise me that Jews or Muslims would do the same thing. I have been at debate for 11 years and I have yet to see human behavior change.

Science always matches up with the predilections of the person claiming a pet god. Their problem is that it doesn't in reality, they just want science to prop up their myth so badly the mental gymnastics keep them in their shackles.
