Before it's too late...

Leah set up this blog for us and I have the honor of posting the first entry. I'm not really sure what I want to say, but I know I want to say it before 11:30 am on Wednesday, 9/10/08. That's because the world is going to end at that time. Maybe.


Some people think the world is going to end because of an earth-swallowing black hole caused by the new 17-mile underground Large Hadron Collider that will be turned on for the first time at 11:30am on Wednesday, 9/10/08. I don't really know what a Large Hadron Collider does, but the crew that is responsible for this machine is hoping it will be able to show them the secret of the universe's origins.........

I am absolutely certain that every single person that has been working on this Large Hadron Collider is smarter than I am. That is a fact. But, if they had only asked me, I could have told them the secret of the universe's origins.

"Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable."
Isaiah 40:22 (esv)

Well, come to think of it, it's not really a secret at all. If those scientists had sent a quick email to me it would have been much quicker, cheaper, and much more fulfilling than their Large Hadron Collider will be. Good luck to everyone tomorrow at 11:30am.
