Matter is made up of tiny, microscopic particles called atoms. (Microscopic means you cannot see it with the naked eye!)
Only instruments like the tunneling microscope can detect electron clouds and their ball-like forms.
If we could zoom in to the atom with the microscope and make it the size of a person, the very center, called the nucleus would be as tiny as the dot of this period. So tiny!
The electrons are 1,800 times smaller than that! Now you know why it cannot be seen with the naked eye!
An atom consists mainly of lots of empty space and the electrons travel around the nucleus. There can be from 1 to 100 electrons circling the nucleus. (Like a planet in orbit)
The nucleus is so dense that a “pin head” of nuclear material would weigh ten million pounds! Now you know why it must be so tiny!
Electrons travel around the nucleus at about 1 hundred quadrillion times every single second! (A 1 with 17 zeroes!) This causes what is called an electron cloud.
Magnetism causes electrons to travel at specific lengths and patterns.
Electrons keep the atom functioning properly. They fly around the nucleus like a protective shield to keep other atoms from colliding and damaging it.
Good at Counting?
If you want an idea how many atoms are in the universe, it would be impossible for us to write it all out! But let’s condense it to how many atoms are in a single copper penny: One penny has 30,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms!
How do you possibly put this large number into words!? To help you out, a single penny contains about 30 billion trillion atoms.
If you had the smartest mind in the world, that helped you to count very fast, and go to very large numbers, counting at a speed of 1 trillion atoms a second, you would be counting the atoms in that penny for 930,000 years! There's no way we could do that!
We point out that the atom has three main parts to itself and that it must work in the way that it was made to work properly. Just like that atom was created to work a specific way, God created the family to function in a specific way also.
It takes God, one father, and one mother to create a solid foundational family. This is important! Without God, only one man and one woman, it messes up God’s plan and design and causes the family to no longer function the way God intended.
When we try to recreate the family and what God intended, we are destroying the very thing that makes our children, our communities, cities, and nations strong and successful. The Bible clearly says that “except the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it”. And that from the beginning, God made humans male and female and makes it clear that it is one man and one woman that makes family.
