Fermilab never found the god particle and we're pretty sure that exists.

The "God particle" is the Higgs boson. They found it with the LHC.

Think about all of the theories and hypothesis that have been altered or completely changed over time.

This tells me you don't just not know how science works; you don't understand what science is.

Right, the fermi lab peeps were skeptical about ever finding it. LHC proved it. You're making my case.

This tells me you don’t just not know how science works; you don’t understand what science is.

Do you? It's a process of finding out. Have you proven that stones don't have an energy that we don't have the equipment to measure? The black and white in this thread is now becoming funny while spouting that you believe in the process.

If you know it's a process, then why would you criticize science for changing theories in response to new evidence?

Why aren't you open to not knowing everything and that our knowledge could change?

Your making some really weird—and wrong—assumptions about me.
