The world will not end this week

This blog is hilarious. Basically, the guy who wrote it, Peter Dykstra, is sarcastically informing the reader about a machine called the Large Hadron Collider (LHD), which is rumored to have the ability of re-creating the "Big Bang". The LHD is a 17 mile tunnel running through Switzerland, and the project is supported by the US Department of Energy - among other participants. According to scientists, there's a chance that the proton particles in the machine could smash together, unite tiny black holes together and eventually swallow up the earth. Rediculous. Some people are so concerned that they're starting online protests and even lawsuits.

As a Christian, I do not believe in the Big Bang Theory, so this blog doesn't worry me in the least bit. It's extremely difficult for me to grasp the thought that particles colliding together have the ability to create and destroy the universe. Someone once explained the God's creation of the universe to me as being like an artist creating a painting, sculpture, you name it; artwork doesn't make itself - just like I don't believe the earth miraculously made itself. Someone had to have thought of the details and placement of everything, right? Anyway, the LHD experiment is set to end in a month. I think we'd be more likely to kill each other off via nuclear war than die because particles united, made black holes and swallowed us all up! What do you think?

I completely agree with you on the black hole project. It is just amazing how much money they are spending on such a thing that will not prove what they desire because the big bang did not happen. I am interested to see what they claim the results to be. Will they make some outlandish statements as to what they found just to validate the whole thing? I hope the whole project is a failure in every way possible and the people in charge go and hide away for the rest of their lives peeling pootatoes or something.
