Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Generates a 'Mini-Big Bang'

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-do-that-when-i-eat-chinese dept.

buildslave writes "The Large Hadron Collider has successfully created a 'mini-Big Bang' by smashing together lead ions instead of protons. The scientists working at the enormous machine on the Franco-Swiss border achieved the unique conditions on 7 November. The experiment created temperatures a million times hotter than the center of the Sun."

    If they believe that they're idiots, I mean one of the first things God said to Adam and Eve was "if you eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge you will surely die".

    They didn't die, he's a liar. Christians try to wiggle out of this one by claiming some sort of spiritual "death" happened, but that's bullshit - if you can have kids and become the progenitors of the entire goddamn (literally! hah!) human race, you're just not fucking dead.

    (Also they didn't exist in the first place, which makes the whole question of original sin kinda nonsensical - I mean, did Jesus die for a metaphor? - but that's entirely besides the point)
