Does the atom really exist?

It never fails, every year when I teach atomic structure and the theory of the atom, I get this question from several students.

This year a paper was put together by the head of our school system's science department, which I think is very good at addressing this question.

Great quote

I saw a great quote in a church bulletin this past weekend that I wanted to share:


"That God normally operates the universe consistently makes science possible; that He occasionally goes past science and the laws of nature to work miracles ought to keep scientists humble"

-- D.A. Carson
