Extract from Did the Elements Come About by Chance?

"Consider, too, the rich variety of chemical elements. Gold and mercury are elements with distinctive shining colors. One is a solid, and the other a liquid. Yet, they follow each other as elements 79 and 80. An atom of gold has 79 electrons, 79 protons, and 118 neutrons. An atom of mercury has just one more electron, one more proton, and more or less the same number of neutrons."
A little bit of secondary school physics and chemistry will enlighten you about the intriguing properties of the elements and how arranging then into a table (called the Periodic Table) enabled scientists to predict not only the occurrence of yet to be discovered elements but also their chemical and physical properties.

"Is it just chance that a slight change in the arrangement of atomic particles yields such a rich variety of elements? And what about the forces that hold the atomic particles together? “From its smallest particle to its largest galaxy, everything in the Universe follows rules that are described by the laws of physics,” explains The Encyclopedia of Stars & Atoms.

Imagine what would happen if one of those rules were to change. For instance, what if an adjustment were made to the force that keeps electrons moving around the nucleus of an atom?"
You don't have to worry about imagining this specific outcome - you probably wouldn't be here to imagine it. But use your short time here to imagine while you can.

I don't want to take you out of your cosey world of being safe in Jehovah's bosom satisfied with the stock standard answer that Jehovah did it, but you may find that dragging yourself away from God's ample bosom for a while can be satisfying - a bit like cutting the apron strings for a while.

Interesting you say that.. as I've completed 4yrs of Physics at Uni so do know a thing or two about Science lol
