Christians and the LHC at CERN

[KevinM1]

The topic of this thread has been already addressed in his thread.  You don't even have to read through 3 full pages to get to the fact that the LHC is not powerful enough to destroy the world.  Even the larger one that was started in the U.S. was not nearly powerful enough to do that.  (Maybe that is why the U.S. cancelled the project. )  

But if one wants to read about the specifics of what people were afraid of, here are a couple of articles:

Thanks for sharing this!
my main question with this is why christians are freaking out about this and why they think there is a big conspiracy involving CERN, Sept 23/24 and the rapture and the blood moon... im pretty sure I answered my own question with saying conspiracy theory and basically people looking for meaning hard enough and making connections with stuff that would otherwise not mean anything...

There's a big part of the evangelical wing that believes in conspiracy theories.  The blood moon thing you mentioned makes me think that the idiots you encountered believe John Hagee's bullshit about four blood moons in a year.

Beyond that, you need to remember that the devoutly religious are fearful of science, even though they don't understand any of it, and perpetually believe we're in the End Times.  Add it all up, and you have idiocy stew.
