The standard model hasn't gone up in smoke yet. All that's happened is that there are now doubts in regards to the existence of the Higgs Boson, which would challenge some of the assumptions of the Standard Model, though as far as I know the entire theory would not be trashed because of that (I'm no physicist though, so perhaps someone better informed could comment).

What I find interesting though, is that the current theory posits multiple elementary particles. Now, previous "elementary particles" have been shown to be divisible in the past, so this doesn't necessarily confirm anything, but I'm just wondering what the scholars of Theology stated on that issue.

My understanding is that they've held that all matter consists of 1 elementary particle at the deepest level of division. Anyone who has studied Aqeeda would be greatly appreciated if they could comment.
