There have been many scientific experiments and theories that have already cast doubt on the Abrahamic creation story, and none have so far sparked religious wars. Furthermore, if it 'disproved' the Book of Genesis, it would also 'disprove' other creation stories found in other religions - not simply that of Christianity (which isn't unique to that religion, of course).

Secondly, the creation story in the Bible and other holy books can also be interpreted as metaphorical. Simply proving the Big Bang happened doesn't disprove God - who is to say that God did not cause it to happen?

There are many commentators on the Bible (1000-1400) that argued the first seven days of creation were a different type of time that we experaince in every day life. Therefore the earth could be much older then 5000-6000 years.

There also many commentors form the same time period that suggest that the big bang happened. (Not in the same way as expalined nowadays but the same principles). Also there is a greek word (nowadays known as the atom) that is also mentioned by commentators that it was used by G-d in creating the world.

Do we need to know this information though? is it important? as discussed earlier it could spell the beginning of many wars and also crush many peoples beliefs, do a select few have the right to do that?

The potential of the collider creating a black hole which would destroy the planet is not minimal: it is zero.

As explained by Professor Stephen Hawking in a recent BBC interview, the kind of event that is being created within the collider actually occurs all the time within Earth's atmosphere: with no adverse effects. Despite a 1% chance of a "black hole" actually being created (and note that this would not be a black hole on the scale of those found at the centre of galaxies), there is no potential harm from conducting the experiment, as as all the matter and energy produced from the collision would immediately dissipate.

And... Who cares if we are all trace of the human race is removed from existence? No one is going to be around to care...

The potential findings of the LHC experiment are significant. It could test the Big Bang theory and uncover new facts about matter and new dimensions of the universe that we are currently unaware of.(1) It could find the Higgs boson or the ‘God particle’ – a theoretical particle that could explain why matter has mass.(2) A better understanding of the physical world will no doubt play an important role in future research. One should also acknowledge that the world wide web was invented at CERN, as a means of supporting documentation needed for CERN operations.(3) This illustrates how scientific ventures can indirectly pave the way for new technology. There is even a possibility that the LHC could unlock the secret to time travel.(4) These possibilities make the experiment worth it.

Despite the speculation about the safety of the experiment, the chances of the LHC ending the universe are almost non-existent. Scientists at CERN have said that the likelihood of the LHC creating black holes is minuscule, and even if it could create them they would be so small that they would immediately disintegrate.(1) In fact, particle collisions occur in nature all the time. For example, naturally occurring cosmic ray collisions are much more energetic than those produced in the LHC, but have not endangered the planet.(2) The media has a tendency to exaggerate such risks in order to add colour to their stories and create public hysteria.
