At the Conference Ray brought up the Truths that are written in His Word that science has only recently found to be absolutely valid.Heb 11:3 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.The following is from;

Subatomic particles are particles that are smaller than an atom. In 1940, the number of subatomic particles known to science could be counted on the fingers of one hand: protons, neutrons, electrons, neutrinos, and positrons. The first three particles were known to be the building blocks from which atoms are made: protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei and electrons in orbit around those nuclei. Neutrinos and positrons were somewhat peculiar particles discovered outside Earth's atmosphere and of uncertain origin or significance.
That view of matter changed dramatically over the next two decades. With the invention of particle accelerators (atom-smashers) and the discovery of nuclear fission and fusion, the number of known subatomic particles increased. Scientists discovered a number of particles that exist at energies higher than those normally observed in our everyday lives: sigma particles, lambda particles, delta particles, epsilon particles, and other particles in positive, negative, and neutral forms. By the end of the 1950s, so many subatomic particles had been discovered that some physicists referred to their list as a "particle zoo."
The quark model
In 1964, American physicist Murray Gell-Mann (1929– ) and Swiss physicist George Zweig (1937– ) independently suggested a way out of the particle zoo. They suggested that the nearly 100 subatomic particles that had been discovered so far were not really elementary (fundamental) particles. Instead, they suggested that only a relatively few elementary particles existed, and the other subatomic particles that had been discovered were composed of various combinations of these truly elementary particles.
Words to Know
Antiparticles: Subatomic particles similar to the proton, neutron, electron, and other subatomic particles, but having one property (such as electric charge) opposite them.
Atomic mass unit (amu): A unit of mass measurement for small particles.
Atomic number: The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
Elementary particle: A subatomic particle that cannot be broken down into any simpler particle.
Energy levels: The regions in an atom in which electrons are most likely to be found.
Gluon: The elementary particle thought to be responsible for carrying the strong force (which binds together neutrons and protons in the atomic nucleus).
Graviton: The elementary particle thought to be responsible for carrying the gravitational force.
Isotopes: Forms of an element in which atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Lepton: A type of elementary particle.
Photon: An elementary particle that carries electromagnetic force.
Quark: A type of elementary particle.
Spin: A fundamental property of all subatomic particles corresponding to their rotation on their axis.
The truly elementary particles were given the names quarks and leptons. Each group of particles, in turn, consists of six different types of particles. The six quarks, for example, were given the rather fanciful names of up, down, charm, strange, top (or truth), and bottom (or beauty). These six quarks could be combined, according to Gell-Mann and Zweig, to produce particles such as the proton (two up quarks and one down quark) and the neutron (one up quark and two down quarks).
In addition to quarks and leptons, scientists hypothesized the existence of certain particles that "carry" various kinds of forces.
One of those particles was already well known, the photon. The photon is a strange type of particle with no mass that apparently is responsible for the transmission of electromagnetic energy from one place to another.
What a treasure chest of Wisdom our God has provided, on so many levels.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
