Well if it happens it's not like we'll kno anyways :P
If everyone dies at the same time do we actually die?
Yes because there's trees around that can hear us

Actually he isn't wrong. They have been running it for quite a few months testing the magnets, testing the beam synchronization, testing the shielding and getting it to its operating temperature.
He didn't SAY they were running their experiments yet. You said in your opening post it will be SWITCHED ON when what Deej said is corrected. It has been on for some months now running the above mentioned tests.
During one of their tests they actually had a massive failure and one of the 20 ton magnets was blown off its mountings. One of the reason the launch date was pushed back to tomorrow.

However, (and I hope this is true) wouldn't doing this completely DISPROVE religion at every level? It would prove how planets were formed. That is of course unless God built planets in 7 days by smashing particles. I guess that's possible too.
No. Ignoring for a minute that the god of the gaps is a resilient god and there's nothing stopping people just saying god used the big bang as his creation tool, people don't even believe evolution... The LHC isn't going to disprove religion. To prove the Standard Model is really just more of the same and people already don't believe in the big bang so it's not going to change your average person's mind. There is enough proof out there of stellar evolution.. If you need proof at this point the LHC isn't going to do it for you. Some people are hard wired for religion and it's an emotional thing.. not a scientific rational one. Science chips away at it, but It's a very gradual process and it would take a substantial further accumulation of proof over the next century before you sway even a small % of extra people with it.* The make up of society has more to do with religious beliefs. The English know just as much science as Americans and yet it's America that is 90% religious vs England's 70%.. or France's 55% or Japan's 35%.
*Nothing can't be explained away but things like Alien bacteria probably cause more of a problem than "those goddamn commie/atheist scientists working to destroy the fabric of American society" so maybe a few surprises or giant leaps forward will make an impact sooner.. But not as much as winning the culture wars would.

Who are these people? Religious people? Not real clear when you say most people don't believe in the Big Bang. I don't know a single person that DOESN'T believe it and as to date it is still the most viable explanation we have for the creation of the universe as well as being the most accepted model by a majority of scientists. I know that there are still some "Steady Staters" kicking around that still wish to tear the "Big Bang" model from its pedestal but they had their day and fell short.
That being said, while it IS the most viable explanation we have to date, that doesn't mean it won't change but I doubt it will in our lifetime and I would hardly say MOST people don't believe in the "Big Bang" model of the universe.

Ofcourse, the REAL projects don't start today but what do you guys know haha

I also don't know many people that don't believe in the Big Bang, but as me and my friends aren't drooling morons, we're not a representative sample of the population at large and so we are irrelevant.
55% of Americans believe god created humans in their present form.. only 13% of people have used Occam's razor and believe that evolution occurred without god "guiding" the process (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/...in657083.shtml).

Personal testimony irrelevant to statistics.
I thought that might be what you were getting at but I honestly don't buy into these statistics. I never understood how they could take 1600 people spread out across 48 states as in the survey you referenced and say those peoples opinions constitute nation wide opinion. That is 33 people from 48 states supposedly representing the national average. Maybe I am getting it wrong and I will admit I am no whiz with statistics but it doesn't make sense to me.
I guess it is a good thing public opinion doesn't enter into scientific theory or we would all be screwed. Religion is one veil that Occam's razor will never be able to cut through. It has and always will remain entrenched in blind faith.
