not at all! I had the same reaction. Since when does particle physics have ANYTHING to do with religion? The whole sensationalizing of everything new or scary is why I dont watch the news anymore. Too many things just blown out of proportion. Almost definitely the reason why so many people have that tendency to think everyone is always getting sick from bugs, parasites and vermin. And then of course there is other extreme with the whole "THE BIRD FLU IS COMING YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE, THE WORLD IS ENDING PANDEMIC APOCALYPSE! PANDEMIC APOCALYPSE!!!" thing a few years ago and then the more recent rehash with the swine flu. The later really made me want to slap someone "oh no! its already killed FIFTEEN PEOPLE IN THE USA we're all gonna die! when the regular flu kills hundreds of already sick, elderly, or very young people every year. gotta love it.
