Large Hadron Collider will turn world to goo, promise scientists?

Question

Why would god let this happen?

Answer 1

If science wants to do it, then I'm all for it.

Answer 2

This was all part of God's master plan.

To make a big green and blue ball of silly putty to play with.

It was never the people that God was interested in. It was all about the putty.

Answer 3

Cite sources. I've only heard pseudo-scientists claim this about the LHC.

Would those be the "scientists" you're talkin about?

Answer 4

Because god is dead.

Answer 5

Weeee!! Goo is fun.

God's purpose is spiritual, not physical.  

Answer 6

I bet he digs our inquisitive nature into his perfect creation.  He may even wonder why it has taken us so long to just begin to understand the right questions to ask or maybe we have not figured that out yet.

Do you have a link to an article?

ScienceDaily (Sep. 5, 2008) — A new report provides the most comprehensive evidence available to confirm that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)’s switch-on, due on Wednesday next week, poses no threat to mankind. Nature’s own cosmic rays regularly produce more powerful particle collisions than those planned within the LHC, which will enable nature’s laws to be studied in controlled experiments.

The LHC Safety Assessment Group have reviewed and updated a study first completed in 2003, which dispels fears of universe-gobbling black holes and of other possibly dangerous new forms of matter, and confirms that the switch-on will be completely safe.

The report explains that if particle collisions at the LHC had the power to destroy the Earth, we would never have been given the chance to exist, because regular interactions with more energetic cosmic rays would already have destroyed the Earth or other astronomical bodies.

The Safety Assessment Group writes, “Nature has already conducted the equivalent of about a hundred thousand LHC experimental programmes on Earth – and the planet still exists.”

The Safety Assessment Group compares the rates of cosmic rays that bombard Earth, other planets in our solar system, the Sun and all the other stars in our universe itself to show that hypothetical black holes or strangelets, that have raised fears in some, will in fact pose no threat.

The report also concludes that, since cosmic-ray collisions are more energetic than those in the LHC, but are incapable of producing vacuum bubbles or dangerous magnetic monopoles, we should not fear their creation by the LHC.

LHC collisions will differ from cosmic-ray collisions in that any exotic particles created will have lower velocities, but the Safety Assessment Group shows that even fast-moving black holes produced by cosmic rays would have stopped inside the Earth or other astronomical bodies. Their existence proves that any such black holes could not gobble matter at a risky rate.

As the Safety Assessment Group writes, “Each collision of a pair of protons in the LHC will release an amount of energy comparable to that of two colliding mosquitoes, so any black hole produced would be much smaller than those known to astrophysicists.” They conclude that such microscopic black holes could not grow dangerously.

As for the equally hypothetical strangelets, the review uses recent experimental measurements at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider, New York, to prove that they will not be produced during collisions in the LHC

Answer 7

Please, can't you people wait until 12/21/12 for fake end of the world predictions? What scientists said what you claim some said? Was it the same ones who said 2000 and 2012 were the end?

Answer 8

I'll wait and then decide.

Answer 9

Why would god let scientists make false predictions?  Because he's given us the free will to be as stupid as we want to be, that's why.  Don't you think he enjoys a good chuckle from some of these scientific blowhards who run their mouths without engaging their brains first?

Besides, God has already stated that He, and only He, will destroy this planet.  So I don't spend a lot of time worrying about the Hadron Collider.  

Answer 10

which scientists promised that?

Answer 11

*Smile*

Answer 12

since atheists claim that all life began as goo they shouldn't care since God is just starting over.

Answer 13

God is going to do away with this present heaven and earth.

*************

Rev 21:1   Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone.  

Rev 21:2   And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a beautiful bride prepared for her husband.  

Rev 21:3   I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.[fn1]  

Rev 21:4   He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever."  

Rev 21:5   And the one sitting on the throne said, "Look, I am making all things new!" And then he said to me, "Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true."  

Rev 21:6   And he also said, "It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega-the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give the springs of the water of life without charge!  

Rev 21:7   All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.  

Rev 21:8   But cowards who turn away from me, and unbelievers, and the corrupt, and murderers, and the immoral, and those who practice witchcraft, and idol worshipers, and all liars-their doom is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death."  

Rev 21:9   Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."  

Rev 21:10   So he took me in spirit[fn2] to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.  

Rev 21:11   It was filled with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious gem, crystal clear like jasper.  

Rev 21:12   Its walls were broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates.  

Rev 21:13   There were three gates on each side-east, north, south, and west.  

Rev 21:14   The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.  

Rev 21:15   The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.  

Rev 21:16   When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, it was in the form of a cube, for its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles.[fn3]  

Rev 21:17   Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick[fn4] (the angel used a standard human measure).  

Rev 21:18   The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.  

Rev 21:19   The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve gems: the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,  

Rev 21:20   the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.  

Rev 21:21   The twelve gates were made of pearls-each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.  

Rev 21:22   No temple could be seen in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.  

Rev 21:23   And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light.  

Rev 21:24   The nations of the earth will walk in its light, and the rulers of the world will come and bring their glory to it.  

Rev 21:25   Its gates never close at the end of day because there is no night.  

Rev 21:26   And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city.  

Rev 21:27   Nothing evil will be allowed to enter-no one who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty-but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Answer 14

LHC is the most fun thing in the world! *evil grin*
