Still alive, STILL ALIVE!!!

We're still alive!

Despite what the alarmists and Rapture enthusiasts have been saying, the Large ~~Hardon~~ Hadron Collider has not gobbled up the world. Is there anyone here that is actually surprised?

For the crackpots who might start BAWWWWing and whining about 'evil scientists out to destroy the world', safety information on the LHC can be found here. For more rational folks, the bloggers over at Cosmic Variance are live-blogging the LHC startup, so go over there check out the events as they unfold.

For my fellow lulz junkies, the obligatory ED entry can be found here. Whoever said that the potential 'ZOMG END OF THE WORLD OH NOES!!11!!1!' couldn't be lulzy?

tl;dr version:
Science 1
Crackpots 0

Again.

I really hope these aren't the scientists working there or we're all fucked.

Now, serious business.

The Search for the Higgs: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Watch them.

I really love what you're doing on your blog and webpage. Absolutely superb in every way. You are exceptionally perceptive and talented. [David Mills, author of 'Atheist Universe']

...gives some idea of the sort of people who seek to ruin the careers of scientists who doubt Darwin. .... this sort of thing should arouse suspicion, quite apart from the general bad character and free indulgence of hate that the site exhibits. [Denyse O' Leary, author of 'By Design or by Chance?']

Just discovered you; I'm definitely a fan! Keep up the good work! I think you're in the same league as Hitchens, and "god is not great" is one of the most important books ever. [Mike Molloy]

Evolved Rationalist is just like HITLER!!!!!!! [Creationist]

...the biggest dope on the internet...offensively vile... [Sinbad]

You are like Frankenstein. [Elles]
