In case you haven't heard, one scientific research project, that has been in the works for roughly 20 years, and has a price tag of Ten Billion Dollars was put to use for the first time today. While I would seriously question any scientific research project that uses this much money (and who knows how many more are currently being undertaken) this one spent this outlandish amount of money to answer a question that we already know the answer to: How was the world created? My 5 year old daughter could give them the answer, and, while she has no concept of money, I'm certain she would accept the 10 billion dollars for her trouble. Since God created Adam in the Garden of Eden, man has had the answer to this question. How we can build multi-billion dollar machines that send microscopic particles speeding around a tunnel at just under the speed of light and still not be able to comprehend that God created the world is beyond me.
Putting aside the religious argument, I still can't comprehend spending that much money on a science experiment when all around us people go without food or shelter or other basic necessities. Our priorities are so messed up that its difficult for me to do anything but shake my head and say "We deserve the messed up world in which we live."
As if that is not bad enough, it will be another ten years and a lot more money before these same scientist are able to make their machine do what they built it to do. It will be ten more years and a lot more money before these same scientist are able to discover that their machine can't possibly hope to do what they built it to do, because the universe was not created from a big bang. Picture myself shaking my head and muttering "idiots" under my breath.
