LHC is back up!

[vern w]

I guess I'm the only one who thinks the whole thing is cool.

I think it's cool, I just don't like the conclusions that the scientists think they might be able to reach. All they are observing is (potentially) how God did not... not how science can explain the first nano second of creation without God.

God leaves bread crumbs for his children to follow.

To see who laid the bread crumbs there for us to follow we still need to change our perspective.

We need to regard things larger than ourselves.

We need to look up.

Smashing things together does not "create", it is by the word of God that all things consist. The release of atomic power created nothing of good, and the residue is toxic for many generations. I suggest that smashing a table does not tell you of the craftmanship required to build one.

Will there be a big bang? It's hard to type with my nose when I have my fingers in my ears all the time. (Hey there's a preach in that statement somewhere I do believe!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, please, there's no need to be snide. The goal of CERN's project isn't to 'disprove creation' or any such, and while much is hoped to be accomplished, a main goal is to search for the Higgs boson, the poorly named 'God particle,' which in turn gives rise to the mass of the W and Z bosons through spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking. So again, please, turn your ire elsewhere.

OH THANK GOODNESS... YAHHHHH

ok...Andy - is this important? It sounds a little scary....

Oh well it's not that important to me. It is of interest to people who want to "prove" creation without any divine intervention or assistance. I think they could have used the $6 billion dollars much more wisely, like, world hunger...

Okay.....whatever you just said and welcome to Worthy!

I don't see snideness, or ire, just faith in the Word instead of science.

And welcome to worthy .

Thank you! It's a pleasure to be a part of this group of people.

I was referring to comments such as:

Oh goody ... will scientist tell us that they can produce their own personal rapture also?

and also:

Interesting thought. The God-haters post-rapture will try to come up with an explanation for the rapture that doesn't involve God. Aliens? Maybe the LHC mutated into a super alien and whisked all christians off to mars...

I hope that clears things up. Have a good one!

All a bit of humour. But welcome! Are you an atheist? Scientist? Chocolate lover?

Hi, MrClark -

I love science - but subatomics is a bit out of my league.

Would you please translate this into a bit more layman's terms?

Thanks!
