All this talk about the “Collider Particle Smasher” brings up some important issues regarding the “Big Bang Theory”. Will this experiment replicate a big bang and if it does what will it show us?
Not all hold to the big bang theory…
& warning given by [physicist and philosopher] Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker & namely that a society which accepts the idea that the origin of the cosmos could be explained in terms of an explosion, reveals more about the society itself than about the universe. Nevertheless, the many observations made during the past 25 years or so which contradict the standard model, are simply ignored. When fact and theory contradict each other, one of them has to yield.

Those theories that are being ignored are…
If the universe came from a big bang, then matter should be evenly distributed. However, the universe contains an extremely uneven distribution of mass. This means that matter is concentrated into zones and planes around relatively empty regions. Two astronomers, Geller and Huchra, embarked on a measuring program expecting to find evidence to support the big bang model. By compiling large star maps, they hoped to demonstrate that matter is uniformly distributed throughout the cosmos (when a large enough scale is considered).

What will this collision show? Matter that is uniform and evenly distributed? Or matter that is uneven? I am sure there are scientists, both evolutionists and creationists, that are very eager to see what actually happens. Exciting isn’t it?

In Search of God Quest for “God particle” to replace God?
April 1, 2008
Switzerland’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), years in the making, is finally ready to begin its mission this summer: smashing matter together in the quest to find an “elusive” particle known as Higgs boson (a boson is one type of particle smaller than an atom). The Higgs boson is irreverently known as the “God particle” because physicists are hoping it will help us unlock a “grand theory of the universe.”
