Sorry to geek out here, but I wanted to share something I saw on television last week on one of the new science channels (yes, the channels where they trumpet Darwin's "theory" like it is fact and insist that the universe started from a big bang of nothing). I sometimes like to watch these programs as a stern reminder of how deceitful our hearts are and how we regularly over-estimate our intellect. Also, it is mildly amusing (if not sad) to watch the gyrations of otherwise great minds as they attempt to dodge the cosmic freight train that is God in Jesus Christ.
Anyway, somewhere in the EU (Switzerland?) they are building the latest super-collider, The Hadron Collider (like Fermilab but bigger and different) at the cost of billions of dollars. By smashing two proton beams together at mind boggling speed, they're hope is to figure out what holds together the presumed 12 parts of an atom and more importantly...in this they hope, to find evidence of what was termed many years ago as The Higgs Field. The problem scientists have is that the intensely pure energy in the "big bang" has no reason to ever become matter. Think about that. So someone, presumably named Higgs, about 60 years ago proposed this invisible if not other-dimensional field that exists where some energy (light as we know it for instance) passes unaffected through it, but other energy (the stuff of us and the stars for example) is slowed down, holds together and becomes matter.
For the cost of a $20 Bible, we could have saved them a lot of time and money (about $5,999,999,980). The answer is Jesus Christ!
"15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:15-17
6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. 1 Corinthians 8:6
Oh...one last thing...the outcome of this experiment once started, will likely be a black hole...but only a little one ;- ) Yikes!
