Upheld by His Word
Hebrews 1:1-3
The Bible is not a science book, but it does make claims about who YHWH is and how reality works. Hebrews 1:3 says the Son is upholding all things by the word of his power. Colossians 1:17 says all things hold together in him. Acts 17:28 says in him we live and move and have our being. These are not metaphors about morale; they are claims about the metaphysical substrate of the universe — and they sit closer to what 21st-century physics has been forced to accept (non-locality, observer-dependence, the absence of independently persisting matter) than to the Newtonian-materialist picture that dominated when most modern people learned what reality is supposed to be.
