--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A creation scientist acknowledges the recent test of the so-called
"big bang machine" could uncover information about the tiniest
particles known to man, but says it will not provide evidence of
evolution.
Scientists on the Franco-Swiss border recently powered up the Large
Hadron Collider. The 17-mile underground ring allows scientists to
accelerate subatomic particles and then smash them together at close
to the speed of light. Scientists are hoping to eventually find basic
particles that make up all forms of matter.
Dr. Danny Faulkner, a physicist and an astronomer, says scientists are
hoping the particle accelerator will lead to an important discovery.
"One particle they're looking for is a thing called the Higgs
particle, [which] has sometimes been called the 'God particle' because
[it] is very important in giving properties to all other particles,
such as mass and protons or electrons," he explains.
But Faulkner says the experiment is an example of operational science,
not origin science, and could help better understand how matter works.
"A lot of electronic devices we use today operate off of some of our
understanding of, say, how the electron works, how atoms work," he
continues. "And if we can confirm the standard model of particle
physics, we could conceivably make use of that in the future in new
devices due to sorts of inventions -- so you never know where this is
going to go."
But Dr. Faulkner says evolutionists are hoping to eventually get an
idea of how the universe began, which he points out can be found in
the first 11 chapters of the Bible.

the more i read about creationism, the more tragic it appears.
creationists are so afraid of knowledge and learning that, even PhD's
decry efforts to learn about the world
truly, truly a tragic belief, this creationism
