Playing God?

I don't see myself as a religious person, in fact, I try to avoid religious conversations with people that are not Jewish because I know that somewhere along the conversation, someone is going to get offended, but what happened yesterday has got me scratching my head.

This 17 mile long tube machine known as the "Large Hadron Collider", is supposed to make up the protons that it took to make the Big Bang from happening, so in other words, instead of the Big Bang, it's supposed to make a man-made Small Bang.

I'm not too knowledgeable in science, but I know that the big Bang wasn't man made, and it did have it's consequences. What makes me nervous is that scientist are not certain about the consequences that this "Small Bang" is going to bring.

I'm all for human success, and that humans do have a role to do with the creation of the world that we live in now, but I think that there are certain elements in science that should not be touched upon by human.

Something else that has got me wonder is why it cost $6 million? Most people don't know exactly what it does, and how it can benefit humans. In my opinion, it's all for research, but it's knowledge that may not be put into good use, so in a way, I think it's a waste of too much money.

For situations like these, I'll leave that up to "miracles" or whatever super natural being that's responsible for the first Big Bang.

this might be a dumb question but is that thing for sale? Because if it is, that could definately fall into the wrong hands especially if it's only six million bucks

Lols. When my friend told me about the LHC I was thinking the same thing.

I have no idea of what you are talking about, it sounds too complicated for my tiny brain, Still, is amazing how words that have no meaning whatsoever to me, can scare the hell out of me.

That is really interesting. I had no idea about that. I love astrology and all, but that is pretty freaky.
