Before the Big Bang? Supersymmetry dead so far (Origins)

dhw: If there are major problems not solved by the standard model (as there were with the geocentric model of the universe), we must accept the possibility that the standard model may be wrong, and those aspects of it that are correct may have to be reshaped into a new pattern. But that really isn't the point of our discussion, is it? “Who ordered that?” is the real point. And no matter what new discoveries are made, and no matter what pattern is formed, in the composition of the universe as in the history of evolution, you will look for God and find him. Who knows, you may be right.-DAVID: You still don't understand. What the LHC does is increase its energy level to discover new particles. They theoretically comprise what is not in the current circumscribed standard model. The Higgs which ended this segment of exploration was not as heavy as theorized, but it has been carefully studied and accepted as fitting into the model. No one knows what new particles might be, whether they fit current theories or not. View this area of research like Columbus discovering the New World. What will be added will be new and more than likely not change anything now known as old info, except as to how the old will relate to the new.-Ignorant though I am, I do understand what the LHC is looking for (and so far failing to discover). I also understand that the Higgs boson completes one particular segment of the great jigsaw puzzle of our universe, but there are many other pieces that are still missing, which is why various websites insist that the standard model is not complete (or is “circumscribed” as you now put it). However, the starting point of this discussion was the following statement:
 
David: The pattern of the particles suggests a planned construction pattern. Only a mind can create such an integrated quantum plan.-I have no doubt that whatever new particles are discovered, and whatever new patterns are formed, or whatever gaps remain in the puzzle, you will look for purpose and find it (see under “Extinctions”) and likewise will look for the mind of God and find it. As I said, you may be right.
