I have had several comments re. the use of the term, the God Particle, and most get very specific scientifically as you have. My thought is that when any person (Higgs) or scientific team talk about the beginnings of the universe, someone will likely attach a term that, if it isn't the word God itself, it will be very similar in meaning. Simply put, people connect this genesis with a God of sorts, not necessarily Christian but could be from any faith.

And you are right. Those of us who aren't scientifically minded should write about what we know, only quoting from those who do.
