Birds dropping baguettes, terrorist plots and nuclear critics have all tried to derail the Large Hadron Collider, but if all goes according to plan it will be re-creating the Big Bang in no time.

God isn't jumping in and saving the day like Batman and he's not deciding every decision we make like some massive video game. God, wherever he is, is watching us and hoping that we have fun with our lives.

Can we create the conditions in which we lead grace-full lives? Is it even possible to expect to live gracefully, with the world in so much chaos? My view is that there has never been a better time.
