Christian author: 'Insane machine' Large Hadron Collider is the new Tower of Babel that will destroy us all

In a breathless report uploaded to YouTube, a Christian investigative reporter who works for evangelist Jim Bakker warns that science is tempting God to destroy us all like he did with the Tower of Babel by searching for the "God particle" using the Large Hadron Collider.

The LHC is an enormous particle collider built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and located near Geneva for the purpose of testing out advanced theories of particle physics and high-energy physics.

With this in mind, an excitable and overly sincere Zach Drew draws attention to the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel in the book of Genesis where God scattered arrogant knowledge seekers across the land, speaking in different languages.

"What if I told you, again, today, the ancient story of the Tower of Babel is being repeated," Drew ominously intoned. "Isn't it interesting that people from all around the world have once again come together to build the largest machine that man has ever constructed? They say it is for the purpose of discovering the God particle. This mystery particle that essentially holds the entire universe together and, if found, would explain our very existence."

"This insane machine? It's called CERN," he continued. "The Large Hadron Collider. The Tower of Babel. The whole world came together to work on it... The people at the Tower of Babel's goal was also to reach a portal, or a gateway, into the sky, or into another dimension where God dwells."

"Is all this a mere coincidence? Are the startling parallels between these two stories just a matter of chance?" Drew asked before adding, "Or are the powers of the demonic realm actively at work right now? And if this is just a coincidence and history does decide to repeat itself, let's not forget how it ended for the people at the Tower of Babel."
