God made each and every atom

• It seems probable to me that God, in the beginning, formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, moveable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties, and in such proportions to space, as most conduced to the end for which He formed them; and that these primitive particles, being solids, are incomparably harder than any porous bodies compounded of them, even so very hard as never to wear or break in pieces; no ordinary power being able to divide what God had made one in the first creation. Isaac Newton
• The cry of distress lays hold of our Lord’s omnipotence. It is as easy for God to supply thy greatest as thy smallest wants, even as it was within His power to form a system or an atom, to create a blazing sun as to kindle the fire-fly’s lamp. Thomas Guthrie
• The divine life is the spirit in everything that exists, from the atom to the archangel; the grain of dust could not be were God absent from it; the loftiest seraph is but a spark from the eternal fire, which is God. Sharers in one life all form one brotherhood. The immanence of God, the solidarity of man, such are the basic truths of theosophy. Annie Besant
• Thought is the primary energy and vibration that emanated from God and is thus the creator of life, electrons, atoms, and all forms of energy. Paramahansa Yogananda

God created a world of atoms…

• If God creates a world of particles and waves, dancing in obedience to mathematical and physical laws, who are we to say that he cannot make use of those laws to cover the surface of a small planet with living creatures.  Martin Gardner
• Most things, even the greatest movements on earth, have their beginnings in something small. An earthquake that shatters a city might begin with a tremble, a breath. Music begins with a vibration . . . And God created the whole universe from an atom no bigger than a thought. Lauren Oliver
• Our planet is a tiny atom in god’s kingdom. Paula Cole

.

…and each atom is the brushstroke of God’s masterpiece

• Idealism sees the world in God. It beholds the whole circle of persons and things, of actions and events, of country and religion,not as painfully accumulated, atom after atom, act after act, in an aged creeping Past, but as one vast picture, which God paints on the instant eternity, for the contemplation of the soul. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every atom points to God

• Mathematics transfigures the fortuitous concourse of atoms into the tracery of the finger of God. Herbert Turnbull
• I believe in God the way I believe in quarks. People whose business it is to know about quantum physics or religion tell me they have good reason to believe that quarks and God exist. And they tell me that if I wanted to devote my life to learning what they’ve learned, I’d find quarks and God just like they did. Mary Doria Russell

.

God holds every atom together

• We use the word “God” as representative of that which is timeless, immortal and infinite, that which produces order, which holds together the nucleus of an atom, which gives us life and death, neither masculine nor feminine, not a person, beyond any comprehension. Frederick Lenz

.

God knows the movement of every atom

• God knows where every particle of the handful of dust has gone; he has marked in his book the wandering of every one of its atoms. He hath death so open before His view, that He can bring all these together, bone to bone, and clothe them with the very flesh that robed them in the days of yore, and make them live again. Charles Spurgeon

.

God moves every atom

• I believe that every particle of dust that dances in the sunbeam does not move an atom more or less that God wishes – that every particle of spray that dashes against the steamboat has its orbit, as well as the sun in the heavens – that the chaff from the hand of the winnower is steered as the stars in their course. The creeping of an aphid over the rosebush is as much fixed as the march of the devastating pestilence – the fall of…leaves from a poplar is as fully ordained as the tumbling of an avalanche. Charles Spurgeon

.

Every atom moves towards God

• The truth is that we are all, every one of us, every atom, every galaxy, and every particle of matter in the universe, moving toward God. Gregory David Roberts

.

God is immanent in every atom

• God is immanent in every atom, all-pervading, all-sustaining, all-evolving; He is its source and its end, its cause and its object, its centre and circumference; it is built on Him as its sure foundation, it breathes in Him as its encircling space; He is in everything and everything in Him. Annie Besant
• Gross and subtle, pure and mixed, simple and complex – in the end that there is no place where God is not. In every atom, He alone is present. From the ant to the universe, He spreads. The Lord who cares equally for all, the compassionate one who is all knowledge, tenderness, skill, holiness and beauty – He stands on all sides everywhere. Vinoba Bhave
• It is He who manifests as both matter and consciousness. There is no place where God is not. In every atom, in every living being He alone is present. Rama Swami
• The idol in the temple is not God. But since God resides in every atom, He resides in that idol too. Mahatma Gandhi
• The omniscient, the ancient minuter than an atom, of inconceivable form, effulgent and beyond all darkness.  Bhagavad Gita 8.9
• We have strayed away from God, and He is in quest of us; Like us, He is humble and is a prisoner of desire: He is hidden in every atom, and yet is a stranger to us: He is revealed in the moonlight, and in the embrace of houses. Muhammad Iqbal

Every atom is alive with the presence of God

• In each atom, in each corpuscle, is life. Life is what you worship as God … and earth is only an atom in the universe of worlds. Edgar Cayce
• Let us not depreciate Earth. There is no atom in it but is alive and astir in the all-penetrating splendor of God. From the infinitesimal to the infinite, everything is striving to express the thought of His Presence with which it overflows. Lucy Larcom
• The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together. Carl Sagan
• The history of the cosmos is the history of the struggle of becoming. When the dim flux of unformed life struggled, convulsed back and forth upon itself, and broke at last into light and dark came into existence as light, came into existence as cold shadow then every atom of the cosmos trembled with delight. D. H. Lawrence

Every atom expresses God’s presence

• Let us not depreciate Earth. There is no atom in it but is alive and astir in the all-penetrating splendor of God. From the infinitesimal to the infinite, everything is striving to express the thought of His Presence with which it overflows. Lucy Larcom

Every atom contains quantum intelligence

• Atoms are weird stuff, behaving like active agents rather than inert substances. They make unpredictable choices between alternative possibilities according to the laws of quantum mechanics. It appears that mind, as manifested by the capacity to make choices, is to some extent inherent in every atom. The universe is also weird, with its laws of nature that make it hospitable to the growth of mind. I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it passes beyond the scale of our comprehension. Freeman Dyson
• The movement of a single atom from one known position to another known position changes an experience from nothing to overwhelming. This means that mind and matter at the quantum mechanical level are all spun together. Terence McKenna
• Don’t look at prayer as me asking God to give me something, like some type of cosmic bell captain, look at prayer as my communication with the quantum intelligence, the divine intelligence that we have out there and that is how things are manifested. John Assaraf

.

Every atom contains immense energy

• It remained for the twentieth century to discover that locked within the atom is the energy of the sun itself. For this energy to be released, however, the atom must be bombarded from without. So too, locked in every human being is a store of love that partakes of the divine-the imago dei-image of God, it is sometimes called. And it too can be activated only through bombardment, in its case love’s bombardment Huston Smith

.

The atom, like God, represents a world of infinite potentiality

• The atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts. Werner Heisenberg

.

When we come to know the atom, we will come to know God

• Within a hundred years of physical and chemical science, men will know what the atom is. It is my belief when science reaches this stage, God will come down to earth with His big ring of keys and will say to humanity, ‘Gentlemen, it is closing time.’ Marcellin Berthelot

.

If God is the atom, then we are made of God

• We are the gods of the atoms that make up ourselves but we are also the atoms of the gods that make up the universe. Manly Hall
• We live in succession, in division, in parts and particles. Meantime, within man, is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty to which every part and particle is equally related; the eternal One. Ralph Waldo Emerson
• Man is an imperceptible atom always trying to become one with God. Henry Adams
• Each galaxy, star, or person is the temporary owner of particles that have passed through the births and deaths of entities across vast reaches of time and space. The particles that make us have traveled billions of years across the universe; long after we and our planet are gone, they will be a part of other worlds. Neil Shubin
• Each of us is like an atom in the body of God. Tricia Richie

• When you die, you are extinguished. From being you will be transformed to non-being. A god does not necessarily dwell among our capricious atoms. Ingmar Bergman
• Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurl’d, And now a bubble burst, and now a world. Alexander Pope
