Lol, I love how a lot of threads I've read that start out talking about the LHC end up in some philosophical war...
I know that I'm not as learned as either of you, but can't you go about your life without stomping on somebody else's beliefs? Christianity and other religions give comfort (to some people), so you coming in and trashing it is like me taking away your house. Samething goes for science, some people take comfort in figuring things outs cuz we fear the unknown, usually...
Anyways, the world isn't gonna end, scientists've been accelerating particles for awhile, just not at the speed of light... So if the world was gonna end, it would've already been destroyed by a black hole.
BTW personally, I think the two protons are just gonna bounce off each other and everybody's gonna be disappointed that they wasted $10 billion
