According to a thing I've been watching on YouTube, atoms are so incredibly
tiny that just one glass full of them contains more atoms than there are
glasses of water in all the oceans.
I don't know if that's really true or not, but one thing that amazes me is the
amount of energy bound up in an atom holding its nucleus together. When
that bond is broken-- for example in a reactor or a nuclear weapon --the
amount of energy released can be considerable.
Genesis talks about the origin of the cosmos, but it doesn't really say much
about the energy that goes into making the cosmos a cohesive structure.
Personally, I suspect that atomic energy is alluded to in the creation of light;
and I also think that's why God created light right away because the Earth
was without form in the beginning; no doubt due to the cosmos' lack of
atomic energy; without which the quantum particles in atoms would go their
separate ways like the seeds of a dandelion by just a puff of breath or a mild
shaking of their plant stems.
Albert Einstein was fascinated by light and it's various properties; and rightly
so because it's not just illumination; no, light and it's various properties are
far more complicated than that.
While scientists go about arguing against intelligent design, their discoveries
are revealing just how incredibly smart the designer really is.
