"Cosmic inflation's 'smoking gun' goes up in smoke" 04 February 2015 by Maggie McKee

I've mentioned before that scienctists spend much time 'going back to the drawing board' in areas of their expertise. Can we trust them to define God for us, as some do?
BTW newscientist is one of my favorite secular magazines because it's stance is 110% evolutionist, no hidden agenda and every article can be read that way. Also, as here, they're honest about science's gaffes, are respectful to religious views even as they disagree with them, and have a sense of humor:
A reader sent in his experience with a couple of "doorknockers" (in the UK). Didn't specify what variety, but let's say they were Witnesses. One said, 'Did you know science discovered the God particle? They found it in their Large Hadron Kaleidoscope!" Happy

who never darken a church doorway are obviously quite religious. Many of them even in TV. "oh my god" and OMG is expressed constantly all over the place. Must be a revival breaking out?

of the good news in Los Alamos. She said the town is full of churches and the churches are full of people. ("Open the doors and see all the people...") She figured it's guilt over the weapons stuff.
Not much interest in her message BTW. 'God loves me; I go to church.'
