Since an atom is the smallest thing out there, what holds it together?

Why do theists beleive in gods? FAITH. The belief in something WITHOUT evidence.
[b said:Quote[/b] ]The thing is, ANYTHING can be put up to God. I know people say genuine miracles have taken place, but oftentimes, thinking about it, too much is put up to miracles too easily.
I'm not a bitter cynical person. I find it easier to understand the mathmatical principles behind physics and chemistry than an all-powerful being capable of everything. We know about atoms and electrons and such like because applying them to everyday life makes sense. Such as why combustion of certain chemicals creats another different one. The rules for that make sense.

Have you ever considered the possibility that god and science are one and the same?[b said:Quote[/b] (Rithkil @ Oct. 16 2004,11:33)]You say science and mathematics is easier to understand. Of course it is! Science and Mathematics is our attempt to explain what God has created!
Hmm. But I think, historically speaking, it is more accurate to say that god is used to explain science, or the things which we do not yet understand. However that is beside the point. Since science can, in theory, do all of the practical things that god can do, is it not possible that god is merely science with a personallity? I tried to bring this up in another thread, but no one bit..[b said:Quote[/b] (Rithkil @ Oct. 16 2004,1:55)]Once. But now I believe science is our way to explain what God has created. God is not a creation. He is the creator. We can't put Science and God on equal level. God is greater than Science. That is what I believe.
No offense Gen and Rithkil, but that question begins with an incorrect basis.[b said:Quote[/b] (Genesis1315 @ Oct. 16 2004,11:29)]Since an atom is the smallest thing out there, what holds it together?
[b said:Quote[/b] ]An atom is the smallest particle of any element that still retains the characteristics of that element. However, atoms consist of even smaller particles. Atoms consist of a central, dense nucleus that is surrounded by one or more lightweight negatively charged particles called electrons. The nucleus is made up of positively charged particles called protons and neutrons which are neutral. An atom is held together by forces of attraction between the electrons and the protons. The neutrons help to hold the protons together. Protons and neutrons are believed to be made up of even smaller particles called quarks.
Exactly Byblos[b said:Quote[/b] ]God isnt used to explain science... you can scientifically explain anything, maybe not yet but we will be able to if we study it, but God we will never be able to scientifically explain.
Science may not be able to prove God, but science is what heals God's followers.[b said:Quote[/b] (Rithkil @ Oct. 17 2004,4:19)]Our science cannot explain the wonders of God.
