Essentially, you can't. What the LHC and similar experiments are trying to do is to duplicate conditions, albeit on a very small scale, as they existed at the beginning, making observations, and either substantiating our current understanding, or leading the way to how things might be different than how we've extrapolated them to be.
What's confusing me is how all that amounts to a prima facie case that there was a big bang. Everyone on this thread and all the science papers writers talk about it as if it were a real thing. It's like the alpha-omega self sustaining dynamo. People talk about that happening in the earth and making our magnetic field, but any time someone tries to make a magnetic field without electric current or a bar magnet in a laboratory it doesn't work. I meant the questions to find out what people think the prima facie case for the big bang is. If you know the prima facie case for the self sustaining dynamo I'd be all for hearing that as well.
