I'm a particle physicist, so if you have a linky ill take a look at it. But spontaneously two things come to mind:
No scientific instrument of that type would destroy creationism any more than the existing ones already do, or any other fundamental science for that matter. That's just not how creationists work - they already have to ignore so much evidence to keep the game up, any new experiment will just add a bit more to the list.
"Table top" colliders may soon reach very large energies with these fancy new plasma based acceleration techniques, but I think their luminosity, i.e. rate of collisions , seems to be terribly low in the forseeable future, such that they will have a hard time competing with conventional designs.
