God Machine: Technology Tackles Religion

This is by Far one of the COOLESTTTT things I have ever read about.

Ladies and Gentlemen........meet...........THE GOD MACHINE!!! (DUM DUM DUMMMMMMMMM)

Justttt kidddingggg.........clearly a picture wouldn't do any God Machine justice, so that's why we have Youtube.


So basically, to paraphrase an article from the Guardian, the Large Hadron Collider (AKA the God Machine) will create two particle beams that will run in opposite directions engaging in multiple head on collisions that will supposedly (according to scientists) recreate the moments right after the big bang.......pretty much right when the entire universe supposedly began.

Needless to say, the $9 billion machine has peaked the interest of religious advocacy groups, government officials and scientists alike. When you nickname something the "God Machine" you better believe you're gonna attract serious attention, but I wonder if is all the result of an elaborate marketing/advertising scheme, or a cruel joke by those who are part of the God bashing scientific community.

I'm really looking forward to the insight that the machine is gonna have into the world of particle physics and more philosophically digging deeper into a question asked since the beginning of time "where did we come from". I'm mainly concerned with the likelihood of bandwagoners of this project who are going to presume that this machine is going to be the end all, the answer to all of our questions, and another example of how science triumphs yet again. I'm gonna wait for some results until I start putting my two cents in.
