Then how come the chapters on antibiotics, scientific farming, electricity and anything else that's actually useful are missing from every Bible I've ever picked up? All I get are the ones about incest, slaughtering babies, condoning slavery and demeaning women.
It's really damn annoying when people claim that the LHC is a waste of money. Hell, even if you weren't interested on the greatest questions of existence, it was because of particle physics that technologies like MRI -scanning were created.
If you're right, jessica, I'd really like to know what computer Jesus used? And how did the apostles surf the internet in the desert?
Was your bible written in Word or Acrobat?
I would really like to know.
You do realise that without particle accelerators, you wouldn't have a coimputer monitor on which to type this gibberish?
All your waffle tellsme is that you have no idea what the LHC does or is for. If we banned everything you didn't understand we probably wouldn't even have stone axes.
"ALL ANSWERS TO THIS UNIVERSE ARE WITH GOD."
Perhaps, however he/she didn't bother to include many of those answers in the bible.

Even better, without the aid of the thing called science which jessicas0778 distrusts so much, there wouldn't have been such a thing as a printing press; y'know, the invention that allowed her beloved Buybull to become as well-known as it is.

I'm waiting until the 2008 edition comes out. I want the plans for an interstellar spaceship. Or a cure for cancer, which ever one he can be arsed to provide me with first.
Yeah, I'm sure God wants to try explaining things to us in pathetic metaphorical terms we don't understand.
Oh wait! Maybe God wants us to find out and describe it for ourselves so we don't make the mistake of taking everything he said as actually being real other than just being an easy way to explain it to primitive humans.
My biotechnology lecturer today called this competitive inhibitor for flu virus enzymes a 'plug'. Does that mean that I should be ingest my bathroom plug in flu season? NO!
It was a simple way to explain how the inhibitor interacted with the neurimidase. Now, just believe God trying to explain to humans how they came about? Do you think he would really bother giving is the specifics of that kind of thing when we're like little stupid humans with free will?
Joke I heard recently:
There was a man whose company was in financial difficulties, and he didn't know what to do. His friend, who was a Christian, said to him "all answers are in the Bible. Just pick up a Bible, open it at random, and read the first thing you see. The answer will be there for you."
The man went away and did this, and came back the next day, saying to his friend, "you're right! I opened up the Bible at random, read the first thing I saw, and I had the answer to all my problems!"
"What did it say?" his friend asked.
"Chapter 11!"
Jessica is apparently incredibly ignorant and stupid, as she thinks that everything we need to know comes from the Bible, and that would obviously include enough understanding of the cosmos to design and build her computer.
Unfortunately, Jessica, not everyone wants to be spoon-fed the wit and wisdom of Bronze Age goatherders in response to their curiosity about the universe around us. If the Almighty Arse has all the answers, he sure as hell hasn't provided them in the babble.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
