Cern will start up today its Hadron collider for the first time. And on 10 September 2008 it will go on "full steam".

See this link to Cern article .

That collider COULD produce one or more tiny "black holes". If these black holes are not auto-self-extinguishing , "end-of-times" may be later today. So as per the scouts motto : BE PREPARED !!!

Have a quick look here to see what may be awaiting us all... it could be your last chance to see it... :D

YouTube - The CERN black hole Déjà vu <----- See this !!!

I know that from the science side they ensure us that there is no real danger.
But how do you approach such a possible potential danger for all life on earth from a religious point of view?
Any comments are welcome !

:rolleyes:

Anyone who concerns themselves with an end of the world scenario is a chicken little . It reminds me of the global warming alarmists... alot of hot air over nothing .

As always rude and besides the question, is it not, Tom? So that was your religious point of view?

I am already at least surprised that you did not blame Obama for it !

:D :D :D :D :D

For what ? Global warming or black holes ? (disclaimer... nothing racial implied )

As for my religious postition; my religion has no conflict with serious moral scientific exploration.

You mean auto-self-extinguishing, right?

Everyone there still alive and well ?
I guess we will have to wait till 10 September 2008 when the Hadron Collider at Cern will go on "full steam" !

Time enough to get prepared for the Big Day!!

:rolleyes:

Sorry Crev the world did end, and you are now in hell where everyone just believes and there is no facts

... "and there is no facts"...

In that case nice to see you here, Chuck ! Do you already know why you are here?
And I note that even in "hell" the spelling/grammar remains atrocious...

:D :D :D :D :D

I guess all that praying and living per the bible got you nowhere. :)

Hello Cred:

Well, this is the day after, and I'm still here... But... there's this big black thing in the sky... Wait a minute!! It's growing! OMG, it's getting bigger... It's filling the sky... It's overtaking me. It's...

e...

Jeeze, I missed it.

I just used Google earth, and found the spot where "ex" was when the black hole got him.

Anyone want to share his stash?

Sucked up... At last...
As Chuck suggested you should now also be in hell, together with him !
Or be with Chuck, making it (a) hell... (See # 10)

:D :D :D :D :D

I didn't check back to see how other people answered, so I'll just state what I would do, but I don't know if I can call it a religious point of view. Okay a believers point of view, or as Cred has told me, and I agree, a Deist's point of view;

If I believed, truly believed, that the world was going to end, well, then I'd gather my family and friends around me for a potluck dinner, have both my kids on my lap, hug them constantly, tell them how much I love them, even though they already know that. I'd make love to my husband one last time, and I'd pull out all the stops. ;) Then, I'd wait, nothing I can do. Oh, I'd probably go outside to see the big show with the whole family.

Now, having said that, I've seen allot of death in my 37 years, so I try to live each day as if it were my last. I don't always succeed in that, but I do try. No, I don't have potluck dinners every day, but the rest is pretty accurate. ;)
