Microscopic black holes have (supposedly) very weak gravitational fields. You could not fell any attracation sitting next to a mini black hole. And another comment. Black holes do not devour anything that stands on their way. To fall into a BH you must have a trajectory that crosses its event horizon. If your speed is tangential to the vector that points from your position to the center of the BH you will revolve around the BH without falling into it. If we replaced for instance our sun with a BH the only change we would experience would be the absence of light, a greater revolution speed of the planets and a larger precession of the perihelion of the orbits closer to the BH.

Second, I did not ask you to discuss Christianity with me, so no problem there. Oh, and thanks for your resume. Should I be impressed that you are some kind of scientist. I an educated as an Engineer and studied lots of science. Big deal.
