<p>Row, row, fight the powah.</p>

<p>4Chan is horrible.</p>

<p>And it won’t even be capable of destroying the world for a few months.</p>

<p>Can this device theoretically prove religion as crud?</p>

<p>Regardless of what it does, it won’t be as cool as [the</a> giant animal smasher.](<a href=“http://www.bbspot.com/News/2008/09/squirrel-smasher.html]the”>BBspot - BBspot - Evolutionary Acceleration Research Institute Answers the Call- Ready to Start “Squirrel Smasher”, A Service to Mankind)</p>

<p>Lulz, and higher energy collisions occur in the upper atmosphere all the time, and don’t inconvenience us in the slightest. ;D</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>Here’s your sign.</p>

I can’t wait! Do you think it’ll have the potential to destroy a species? Maybe even the world?</p>

No. Religion already did that - and the people who “believe” “in” religion would tend to find a way to fit the LHC’s results to their belief system.</p>

<p>Disclaimer to the last post: Religion can do some good, and I have a complicated view on it.</p>

<p>Back to the LHC, I think there are a few people who would shift over from (weak) agnosticism to a harder stance on the plausibility of religion if it does anything. This is because if the LHC does anything, it demonstrates testability of esoteric theories in advanced physics.</p>
