A top scientist opposing the LHC said in a lawsuit that if a mini black hole was created it would descend into the Earths core where it will eat a quark at a time for about two or three years before beginning to eat atomic particles, then atoms, then molecules. The first signs would be earth weather anomalies, strange lights from the oceans, earthquakes. Then the rest will happen quickly.

What scientific evidence did he back this up with? He's flying in the face of accepted physics - all the other top scientists including Stephen Hawking disagree, so he must have had something concrete... Who was the 'top scientist'?
In theory, a miniature black hole created at rest relative to Earth is considerably different that one created by high-energy cosmic rays striking the Earth. If such high energy cosmic rays were to on occasion create a miniature black hole, as some theories have suggested, it would be traveling at very high speed [0.9999+ c] relative to Earth, and much like a neutrino, simply zip right through Earth in ¼ second without interacting, or if it did interact, it would glom on to a few quarks and barely slow. Conversely, any miniature black hole created at rest in a collider would essentially be trapped in Earth’s gravitational field, and over seconds to hours, slowly interact and acquire more mass, if Hawking radiation does not work as predicted, or as quickly as predicted, to cause the newly-minted miniature black hole to “evaporate”.

They didn't believe him, but, given the incidents he claimed would happen seem to be happening, at least with the strange events, one has to wonder. Also, he said that the hole would be stationary within the earth and that mass would have to come into contact with it's event horizon for it to grow.

Stop the LHC - until we know it's SAFE!
And here is a snippit that actually makes sense to me.

If a microscopic black hole had been created (and didn't evaporate), why go to the centre of the Earth? Why not start by devouring CERN?
If a black hole had been created and somehow found its way to the centre of the Earth before it evaporated, its growth would be exponential and would devour the Earth long before we noticed any effects.
A 2003 safety review for the LHC found "no basis for any conceivable threat". It acknowledged that there's a small chance the accelerator could create short-lived, mini black holes or exotic "magnetic monopoles" that destroy protons in ordinary atoms. But it concluded that neither scenario could lead to disaster.

Now I could be wrong, but wouldn't some magnetic monopoles be attracted to magnetized matter? And where would you find the majority of that on earth? Perhaps the earths core? You know what others are posting about this has now made me think about sink holes also. I am learning a lot today. Thanx everyone!
CERN's publication of the problem of Neutrinos supposedly travelling faster then light in experiments between Geneva and Gran Sasso reveal the possibility of such causality. If the experiments is verified by Fermilabs, it means that time travel IS possible and linked with this the possibility of micro black holes appearing in an earlier time.
At CERN, on the Swiss, French border, Pinfold's team will use the LHC, a particle accelerator 27 kilometres in circumference, to search for magnetic monopoles in the shrapnel like debris produced by colliding protons. The proton collisions will create unprecedented energy, 14 TeV. The tiny fireballs created in the impact will duplicate the energy produced just after the Big Bang, the event that created the universe.

Those tiny protons sound awfully powerful to me.

Thank you, since this is about more than black holes.
