"Big Bang" Test

Scientists are preparing to smash protons together in a 27-kilometre tunnel underground in late October. The team hopes to detect extra dimensions, 'dark matter' and the mysterious Higgs boson---- the so-called 'God particle'. They are trying to recreate what happened immediately after the Big Bang.

Personally, after reading this I am mystified! I never knew that science could come up with this kind of experiment. The only problem I have is that they are trying to collide protons together @ such high rates that the quarks inside the protons will collide. If you know anything about physics, you will understand that colliding protons together at such a high rate causes a huge amount of energy to be released. Now I really don't know much about the facility they are conducting this experiment in, but I do know that it is located in a mountain. I am thankful for that!! The fact is that releasing this amount of energy several times over (they are colliding several strains of protons together) can be pretty dangerous. If this were taking place here in St Louis, I might find myself out of town for a few days when it occurred. In any event, plenty of my friends have been talking about it!! They've said they are worried science is trying to disprove the existence of God and that this could be some sliver of hope for those trying to debunk God.

Personally, I have no problem with this! Go for it scientists! Try and prove that God doesn't exist! Finding out that there is some particle that started this whole thing does not prove that God is fake or that He doesn't exist! Quite the contrary! To me, that proves that God exists and that He actually works through science. Does it seem logical these protons and neutrons and gases all came from nothing? There has to be an existence greater than these few particles randomly colliding! Space is so expansive and so large that the likely hood of these particles colliding @ any point is so extreme without a greater being pulling them together.

My point being this, Christians are sometimes afraid of science and that is sad! Science is a wonderful thing. Every time science refines it's theories and practices, we are brought closer to the very existence of God! He constructed the universe! He brought things into existence with His very hands. Whether He used the "Big Bang" or some other way, the fact is that God created science and created our universe. He is not above using science to aide in creation. In fact, I'd bet my money on the idea that God used and uses science every day to bring about His will.

I'm pretty excited about this experiment and can't wait for the results! I just hope it doesn't rip open some weird black hole and swallow us all! Then I wouldn't be able to go to Sonic everyday for a Route 44 coke!
