Through faith we understand
that the worlds were framed
by the word of God,
so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Quantum mechanics is the study of matter and energy at the smallest scales. Particles behave in ways that do not match ordinary sight. Observation enters the account. The world at that scale is stranger than the eye expects. Scripture already says the things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. The worlds were framed by the word of God. The science describes a created order. It does not explain the Creator. It is sometimes used to talk about reality and observation. It is not a doctrine. It is a reminder that the visible rests on what is not seen.
- The smallest scales do not behave like the everyday world.
- The seen was not made of what appears.
- The science describes. It does not replace the Word.
