Big Bang Experiment - The Large Hadron Collider -- a $9 billion particle accelerator designed to recreate conditions of the Big Bang that created the physical Universe -- was switched on at 0732 GMT to cheers and applause from experts gathered to witness the event. The event is supported and criticized the world over by people by both ends arguing their point. 

The collider will recreate the conditions of less than a millionth of a second after the Big Bang, when there was a hot "soup" of tiny particles called quarks and gluons, to look at how the universe evolved, said John Harris, U.S. coordinator for ALICE, a huge detector specialized to analyze that question.

Fears have emerged that the collider could produce black holes that could suck up anything around them -- including the whole Earth. Such fears prompted legal actions in the U.S. and Europe to halt the operation of the Large Hadron Collider, alleging safety concerns regarding black holes and other phenomena that could theoretically emerge. Also there are others who argue that it would create major changes in climatic conditions and can after the tempature and rainfall over earth.

Regarding the spiritual side its something which questions the authority of God, as it goes to challenge the power of the nature and might go against basics of life. However, the experimented has started and many are watching the events live  and are glued to the television sets.
