How about the theory regarding the structure of the atom? If like charges repel and unlike charges attract, then why does the atom hold itself together? The only charge in the nucleus is that of protons (positive) and that of neutrons (neutral). Therefore the overall charge in the nucleus is positive, and the nucleus ought to not hold itself together, but rather repel itself apart. Additionally, the surrounding electrons are negative, and therefore ought to attract the protons and neutrons outward from the center towards the outside.

Scientists explain this with some sort of "nuclear force" that the electrons generate to perform such a job. But, where does this mysterious force come from? I prefer to answer with Col. 1:17; "And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together." God governs all of nature directly with his power, and were he to withdraw his hand, all of nature would be chaos, right down to its very atoms.

Blessings!
