This experiment will do absolutely nothing in the way of discrediting Creationism nor is that the goal of this experiment or science in general. Overzealous atheists act like every scientific finding discredits the notion of God, but as I pointed out above, faith is untestable by nature. We are simply
observing our surroundings. For me, faith answers the "why." Science answers the "how." We can observe how light works but we cannot know why it works. Why are there photons in our universe? We arrive at a splitting point: we can say, photons exist because they just do, or, we can say, photons exist because there is some meaning to the universe such as a divine creator. Either way, we cannot test the "why." We can only observe the "how."

Dangerous according to who? As it has already been stated, there are numerous already functioning particle accelerators. Also, the top scientists are backing this project and vouching that it will not destroy our planet. I would discredit the media without any hesitation and be wary of the "critics."
