It won't be until CERN is up and running, and it's clear whether or not its economically beneficial to the US, before we can tell if this is something God created and blessed, or if God simply allowed it to be created by Satan.

The hardons colliding mean that humanity will die in a homoerotic orgy.

This post touches on the Answer: Christians must oppose the LHC because Colliding Large Hardons is not only Pornographic, but it also promotes Homosexual behavior.

And again...its not my calling to try to sway others. I don't have enough faith in scientists to believe that we came out of a mud puddle that got struck by lightning a couple million years ago. I don't have enough faith to believe that the universe came out of nothing. I believe that space, time and matter were created by something outside of those things.

Which is perfectly fine, so long as you clarify it by stating that it's your belief. When you start saying words like "proof", I and others will start calling you on what quickly becomes bullshit.

Genesis Chapter 1 pretty much does what the LHC is trying to do, and it costs less.
And god did activate the primary coolant stage, and he saw it was cold, and good.
Thusly god did begin charging the primary superconductor magnets, and he saw it was good.
Then on the 4th day, he created proton streams, and he was positive they were good.
Finally, on the 5th day, dude started smashing some just-barely-subluminal particles, and he saw it was awesome.

What the hell does the LHC have to do with the world of make believe, nothing. So there is no relationship between it and "god".

The Dude. So that's what you call him. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

My sarcasm meter is broken, but clearly CERN scientists don't believe they can bring space, time, energy, or matter into existence by colliding particles.

And the Genesis account doesn't give details. It wasn't meant to, either, as it's not a scientific account to aid in the construction of physics experiments.

Colliders are built to gather data for us understand the "how", not the "who" or "why", of the creation of the universe.
