SOMETHING FROM NOTHING<\/p>\n

God made everything from nothing,
\nIt can be hard to believe indeed,
\nYet still it makes so much sense,
\nIf we will just take the time to read.<\/p>\n

All visible things which are seen,
\nAre made from what doesn\u2019t appear,
\nThus long ago wrote Apostle Paul,
\nPerhaps we should give him an ear.<\/p>\n

Even several hundred years before,
\nThe ancient Greeks coined a name,
\nThey called those things “atomos”,
\nFrom which everything has a frame.<\/p>\n

Now we’ve got neutrons and protons,
\nThey are both built upon the quark,
\nFor centuries we did not know this,
\nOur knowledge remained in the dark.<\/p>\n

There are particles called electrons,
\nAround the nucleus they take flight,
\nAnd when these objects accelerate,
\nThey will radiate a certain light.<\/p>\n

But because we can\u2019t even see them
\nAtoms do seem like nothing at all,
\nFor centuries it was merely a theory,
\nUntil we broke through that wall.<\/p>\n

But from even the very beginning,
\nGod made everything that was to be,
\nAll held together just by His power,
\nFrom distant galaxies to you and me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
