What does God particle mean?

What does Higgs boson mean for science is the important question and all other thoughts about naming it as ‘God particle’ is meaningless. If people could admit the discovery of electron, proton, neutron, photon and neutrino they should  also admit the discovery of Higgs boson.

The discovery confirms the Standard Model theory is valid. Other particles predicted by this theory have been confirmed, but the missing Higgs boson was a glaring hole. Now that's closed.  Other aspects of sub-atomic physics and of the cosmos that are unexplained, like dark matter (which makes up 25% of the matter in the universe but has never been seen), dark energy (which makes up 70% of matter in the universe but also has never been located), antimatter, super symmetry (a theory that for every particle there is a heavier twin), etc. With the Higgs boson found, scientists can look at these aspects with more surety. That is, if not a hyperbole a man could soon identify his super twin in the near future. The most well-known force in the universe — gravitation —is still not fully explained. Such issues are still to be cleared with findings on Higgs boson.

In mainstream media, the Higgs boson is very often referred to as "the God particle", after the title of Leon Lederman's book on the topic.  Although the proposed particle is both important and elusive (nature attributed to God), the epithet is strongly disliked by physicists ( and atheists too) , who regard it as misleading exaggeration. It is not used in professional publications. And hence it is highly mistaken to make much protest about the name “god particle”.
