"God Particle" is just some crap the media ran with after a book someone wrote about the quest for finding this particle.
It has nothing to do with metaphysics, or explaining how the universe came into being. The Higgs is simply a boson (a class of subatomic particles) which explains why particles have mass under the Standard Model.
If it can be proven to exist, it is another confirmation that we are on the right track to figuring out how matter works.
Without it, physics has to take a step back and reassess where the model goes wrong.
