for those of you that didn't read the article, it's about the hadron particle collider in england that's ready to create "mini big-bangs." could this be the solid proof that everyone on either side of the belief system has been looking for? results could be ready in as little as a year..

i like how you bastards automatically assume i'm an athiest. i'm not. and the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, i just made them so by putting the question in this category, as i wanted people's opinions.

perhaps i should have expected extreme answers from the people in this section. take a pill and it'll all get better. promise.

It should be interesting but not sure what if anything it will prove.
My position on how did life come about is "I don't know and I don't care." I do think, however, that it is more than a little silly for god freaks to slam the big bang theory because "It's something out of nothing sort of thing" when their "god" created himself out of nothing.

While I didn't read the article, I suspect that The Big Bang and God can exist. Is it possible that when God said, "Let there be light." This could of been the Big Bang, the start of his Kingdom. I don't discredit or disbelieve the Big Bang theory, but I think that Science has actually hit the head of the nail with this one.

No for the simple reason how can you call it mini big bangs when the stuff is already created? I have problems with anyone idea that by chance $ 8 worth of chemical just happen to come together, and Bang human life was formed. If this was so, how did we first began to breath? Bleed,hunger,grow. However if their was a greater being called god that wanted something he spoke it into existance and breath life into it made the sun, stars, planets, plants animals minerals, well you name it GOG made it. Besides only a fool would believe that in a explosin that something would be made instead of destroyed

This would be great if it actually produces life.
There's been hundreds of experiments that have tried, but as of yet, no one has been able to 1) evolve a new kind from another, nor 2) turn a pile of dirt into a living human.
When someone accomplishes one of these, then I'll give some credence to science's ability to create life.
On the other hand, "Cox dismissed worries that by adventuring into the unknown and creating tiny black holes, the machine could even threaten to destroy the planet." Of course he does - how could they fund it if it weren't safe?
There are worries?? Oh yea, we REALLY need a machine that can destroy the planet.

Why are the two mutually exclusive? Who's to say that God didn't create the universe using the Big Bang? Just because we can recreate some of the conditions that existed shortly after creation is no proof, one way or the other, of the existence/non-existence of a deity or deities.
Sheesh.

God didn't need a paricle accelerator to create the Big Bang. He created the Big Band and everything including all the material that spewed forth from the Big Bang.
It blows my mind that some people don't believe in their Creator, that He could not have existed, think He doesn't exist, but believe all the materials in the Universe have always existed or just spontaneously created themselves.

A mini-Big Bang isn't the same as the Universal Big Bang. It would be like equating a photon to a star. Still, it's an interesting article.

I find the study hard to believe. Theyre going to create something from nothing? And in a lab? I think theyre a little ahead of their technology.
Even if they are able to produce something like what theyre looking for, it wont prove or disprove anything. You can create any sort of study, reaction, experiement in a lab, it only helps to strengthen a theory.
Either way, either side could find it as proof for their belief system. Science will always work that way, because its suggestive to how and what people think.

Those that choose to beleive in biblical explanations for the universe will continue to beleive regardless of any conflicting explantions. The results of the collider experiments will simply reinforce what the secular rationalists already accept as likely.
Though it will likely lead to much rending of garments and nashing of teeth in the spiritual community.

Just how big will a little bang be? If the first one theoretically created the universe (that would be big), how small would a small one be?
Big Bang = Big Joke
Little Bang = Big Money Wasted
