I'm a bit confused about your post.

You seem to be holding the Higgs particle up to organized religion to see if it will fit, or change the anti-science nature of some.

"Seekers on Unique Paths" may not subscribe to any organized religion and agnostics may not be undecided about the "God" in organized religion, but about the existence of anything beyond what science reveals. It's a bigger world.

I don't think the Higgs particle is going to replace evolution. And faiths, and their faithful, that are not totally committed to the black and white dogma of literality already think evolution can fit into "God's" plan.

The misconceptions here are very strong. ret5hd Mar 2013 #1
