> dhw: But this is getting us nowhere. Your point was that the current pattern strongly suggests a mind, and my point was that no matter what pattern physicists come up with, you will still think it suggests a mind - even if the pattern proves to be as changeable as the weather.-
Stop wiggling. The current herd of particles had enough understanding to predict the Higgs. You can't get around that fact. Yes some minor points don't fit, but every time in the past, misunderstood areas have been clarified by new discoveries. I fully expect that to be the case here. What we don't really know is outside the energies of the Higgs.
