Published July 06, 2008 09:17 pm - Please refer to your article on the front page of today’s (June 29) Globe, titled “Atom-smasher scientists hope for discoveries.”
I also refer you to the March 2007 issue of National Geographic on page 90 in the article titled “At the heart of matter,” where you will find mind-boggling pictures of this grandiose “search for the God particle” to the tune of millions of dollars per day.


Vocies: We're tinkering with nature



Please refer to your article on the front page of today’s (June 29) Globe, titled “Atom-smasher scientists hope for discoveries.”

I also refer you to the March 2007 issue of National Geographic on page 90 in the article titled “At the heart of matter,” where you will find mind-boggling pictures of this grandiose “search for the God particle” to the tune of millions of dollars per day.

I will never cease to be astonished at the pompous heights learned men and women build in their efforts to tinker with nature. All these billions, if not trillions, for a modern day Tower of Babel without looking in the word of God for a clue. God, Himself, said that “his ways are past finding out.” This 17 miles of disaster at the flip of one wrong switch is the most colossal of men’s arrogance and, quite frankly, the most frightening up to this time.

Can you possibly imagine the vast char-covered, no-man’s land after this great sleeping menace is awakened as a cataclysmic geothermal time-bomb that leaves nothing in its wake?
