Quantum LEGO: A Curious Way to See Creation

“By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.” — Psalm 33:6

My son was 10 years old when he got his first LEGO. Watching him build castles, spaceships, boats made me think that these little plastic bricks could tell stories.

As I was watching him pour those bricks onto the floor, I imagined the universe exploding into existence. Red blocks for fire, blue for oceans, little yellow men marching through cardboard wars.

And many years later, somewhere between biblical studies and late-night YouTube rabbit holes about quantum fields, I started asking a stranger question.

What if reality itself is built like this?

Well, not as a joke. And not as an overstretched metaphor. What if the universe, this universe, with photons and black holes and neurons, isn’t made of solid matter, but of spoken structure? Not stuff at all, but order. Something commanded, and obeyed, sustained.

What if reality is built, not from matter, but from the Word?

Okay, But LEGO?

Yes, I know. Why drag divine truth into some Danish toy metaphors?

Because metaphors help us make sense of big and complex ideas ideas without feeling overwhelmed.  And this LEGO metaphor, I think, works.

Now think of LEGO not just as a toy, but as a system. Each piece of this brick fits with purpose, following a set of rules. You can’t just stick those bricks anywhere. There’s a structure, to what brick fits, there is a system, that rules what works and what doesn’t.

Now imagine those rules, those instructions weren’t printed on paper but spoken into existence.

What If the Universe Works Like That?

That’s what Quantum LEGO is, a bit strange, maybe, but a satisfying hunch. That creation isn’t just scattered particles and energy, but a structured design. That the creation is not from matter, but from commands. Spoken logic. God’s Word made system.

Physicists once believed reality was built from solid stuff. Atoms move like tiny billiard balls bouncing around the universe. But the deeper they looked, the weirder it got. At the smallest levels (meaning quantum), matter reduces to probabilities, vibrations, relationships, and rules.

Take the double-slit experiment. When no one’s watching, light acts like a wave, passing through both slits at once. But observe it, and it chooses a slit, like a particle. Reality shifts based on attention. It behaves as if it’s waiting for a witness before it decides what to be.

And that’s where the LEGO metaphor clicks again. Each quantum particle is like a LEGO brick, meaningless alone, but designed to obey rules, connect, and build. And those rules? They’re very very precise. Change one constant, like gravity, or the charge of the electron, and the whole structure crumbles.

It’s not random. It’s rigged for consistency. It’s as if the cosmos is a kit, assembled with elegance.

“Let There Be Light” Was a Command, Not a Suggestion

Genesis did not open with blueprints. It opens with speech.

“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” — Genesis 1:3

The Hebrew verb here, vayomer (וַיֹּאמֶר), “And [God] said” means more than casual speaking. It’s authoritative. Creative. Commanding. In Hebrew thought, speech isn’t just sound, it’s action. It does something.

Later, the word dābār (דָּבָר) emerges. It means both word and thing. In other words, the line between saying and doing, between language and reality, starts to blur.

By the time we reach the New Testament, this idea evolves into Logos, the divine Word through whom all things were made.

God didn’t mold the universe like a potter. He spoke it.

Now fast-forward a few thousand years and physicists started saying particles don’t really exist until observed. That everything solid is 99.999999% empty space

. And what we think of as “solid” might actually be information. Structured. Interactive. Responsive. And suddenly, the universe starts sounding less like Newton. But a whole lot more like Genesis.

Reality Is Weird (Like, Really Weird)

Let’s not pretend physics is still neat. When it left Newton, at least, for the quantum world, it has gone into Wonderland.

At the quantum level, at the smallest level, electrons don’t orbit, they exist as a cloud of probability. Light acts like both a wave and a particle, and it changes, depending on whether something is observing or someone is watching. The act of observing changes the outcome.

Now physicist John Wheeler said:

“No phenomenon is a phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon.”

In other words, reality responds to interactions. Observation calls it into being. The same sequence we see in Genesis. God speaks then creation happens.

Wheeler also gave us “It from Bit.” This is the idea that every “thing” comes from a choice.
A bit of information. A yes or a no.

It’s not that substance first, but decision. Logic. Word.

This may sound familiar.

The Bricks Aren’t the Point, The Instructions Are

Here’s where my LEGO metaphor clicks into place.

LEGO is brilliant not because of the bricks themselves (they’re just colorful plastic), but because of how they fit together, modular, rule-based, reconfigurable.

No, you can’t just stick a piece of this brick anywhere. There is a structure, there is order, and there is logic. There are rules, a pattern that makes creativity possible.

The laws of physics works the same way. They don’t change. And they apply everywhere. Think about this. Gravity, electromagnetism, even the exact mass of a proton. Yes, that tiny tiny proton. They’re all set just right. Not “close enough,” but so precise that if you move them, even the tiniest bit, the whole thing would fall apart. And that would mean no stars, no atoms, and no life.

It’s like God designed the LEGO set of reality with the pieces already cut to fit, the pattern locked in before the first brick ever clicked into place.

These quantum particles? They’re like LEGO bricks. By themselves, on their own, they’re almost nothing, just tiny, strange little bricks. But each one has this built-in instinct to connect, to follow the same instructions, to become part of something greater.

And the almost unbelievable part of it is that the rules are built right into the bricks.

Quantum Weirdness Isn’t Random, It’s Responsive

In the quantum world, things don’t just exist on their own. They respond to each other. They respond to observers. And they respond to observation.

Reality isn’t a pre-assembled machine. It’s more like a living script that comes alive when it’s read. It’s a world that exists because God speaks it, and it’s held together by His Word, not by anything physical.

“He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” — Colossians 1:17

The bible doesn’t say God built the world and then walked away. It says He sustains it. And He sustains it actively, moment by moment. It’s like a program running, not just code that was written once and left alone.

So What Is “Quantum LEGO”?

It’s my conviction that the fabric of the universe is made not of particles or waves or even fields, but of information. Of Word. Of patterns. Of command.

Modern physicists like John Wheeler, Anton Zeilinger, and Vlatko Vedral are now saying that the universe isn’t fundamentally made of matter. It’s made of information.

That’s exactly what Scripture has been whispering all along:

“By the word of the Lord the heavens were made…” — Psalm 33:6

“In the beginning was the Word (Logos)… and without Him nothing was made.” — John 1:1-3

“He upholds the universe by the word of his power.” — Hebrews 1:3

Quantum LEGO – A Metaphor for Reality

In this view, reality works like the ultimate LEGO set. Reality is built from modular pieces, all following the same rules, yet carrying purpose in every connection. Here’s how it all fits:

God = The Source, the infinite origin. Not just the one who builds, but the One from whom all possibility flows.

God’s Word = The source code, the creative command, the informational blueprint spoken into being. The Word is how the Source expresses intention into structure, spoken reality.

Quantum Fields = The invisible framework, the deep laws and structures that govern how reality operates. Like the hidden logic of LEGO bricks, they define how pieces fit and how forms emerge.

Particles = The bricks, modular units that appear when information takes shape in the physical world. They are observer-dependent, snapping into place by command.

The Cosmos = The masterpiece, a dynamic structure assembled block by block, word by word, as the Word calls it into being through the framework of reality.

This isn’t pantheism (God is everything) or deism (God wound up a clock and left). It’s something more personal, a universe built in real time, held together by attention, command, and love.”

Why It’s Not Just Poetic Nonsense

That’s the thing. It used to be just poetry. That was until quantum physics threw pure materialism out. Until we began to understand that energy and matter are just different forms of information.

Even Albert Einstein’s famous equation, E=mc², doesn’t explain where the instructions come from. It looks like random.  And what looks like randomness might simply be design we haven’t measured yet.

This is not saying Science proves the Bible. No, no, that’s lazy thinking.

It’s like saying the Bible was hinting at this strange truth way way long before science had the tools to find it.  And so “Let there be light” wasn’t just poetry. It was a command that launched the ultimate operating system, if you may.

If that’s true, then faith and physics aren’t enemies. they’re two ways of looking at the same design. Science doesn’t erase Scripture. Science helps reveal the code behind it. And your curiosity?

It’s not a threat to faith. It is a God-given way to explore how He works. In this view, the universe isn’t a machine running on its own. It’s more like a living creation, held together by God’s ongoing command.

The Wonder Invitation

This isn’t about winning an argument. It’s about starting a new kind of curiosity, a curiosity that’s sacred. Where science and faith don’t have to fight, they can actually work together.

You don’t have to turn off your brain switch to believe. And you don’t have to throw your faith to think deeply.

We’re going to explore how Physics, the Bible, and even Information Theory all seem to agree and point to the same direction. That the universe isn’t just a bunch of physical parts moving around according to blind laws, like a giant clock.

They all point to the direction that says everything exist because God spokeit into being, and His words are still the reason it works and holds together.

We’ll explore things like, how quantum entanglement (Instantly connected, across all space) connects to the Hebrew word dābār. Why the measurements of creation seem written to the last decimal on purpose.

What the double-slit experiment says about being watched. And what it really means when we say, “The heavens declare the glory of God”

But for now? We’re starting with the basics. With bricks. With the Word. With wonder.

Because if the universe is anything like LEGO, built with intention, governed by instruction, then you’re not here by accident. You’re part of the design. Part of the story. Part of the build.

Come curious. Be ready to rethink things. The beauty is in watching it all start to make sense, one block at a time.

The Day Physics Admitted Nothing Is Solid

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” — Matthew 24:35

There was a time when we thought that the world was made of stuff, matter, that is. During school we were taught that everything at its most basic level is made of atoms. Solid. That’s what we see.

The desk was solid. The wall was solid. Wood feels strong. My mother’s coffee mug was definitely solid (especially when it hit the floor and didn’t break).

I grew up thinking the world was solid. You put a glass on the table, it stays there. You press a key on your laptop, it presses back. You tap your phone screen and you feel the glass pushing against your finger. That’s just how things work. Or so I thought.

School taught me a bit of chemistry and physics, but it was YouTube that seriously surprised me. Feynman, Brian Greene, Al-Khalili, Rovelli, Carroll, and a dozen of other physicists tearing up my mental picture of the universe.

And the shocker is that these physicists say that nothing is truly solid. No thing is solid. Shocking, really, to know that the table you’re leaning on is mostly empty space.

Wait, What Do You Mean “Not Solid”?

Sounds like science fiction. If nothing’s solid, how am I sitting on this swivel chair?

Physicists aren’t saying matter doesn’t exist. They’re just saying our picture of matter is outdated. It’s not tiny billiard balls jammed together. Atoms are mostly empty space, and the ‘pieces’ inside aren’t little solid marbles at all—they’re more like weird ripples and fields.

Electrons aren’t little dots circling like planets. They’re probability clouds, regions where an electron is likely to be found. Protons and neutrons aren’t solid chunks either but bundles of vibrating energy fields.

Now to picture this. If an atom were the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a fly in the middle, and the electrons would be like gnats buzzing near the stands.

And even that nucleus isn’t solid. What we call solidity is the result of forces. Forces, quantum rules like the Pauli exclusion principle. This rule says two electrons can’t sit in the same place with the same state.

Another force is electromagnetic repulsion that prevent particles from overlapping. Chairs don’t dissolve when you sit in them, but what you feel pushing back isn’t solid matter. It is the  invisible rule doing their job.

LEGO Bricks You Can’t Touch

This is where the Quantum LEGO idea comes back. If atoms aren’t solid, then what are we actually touching?

Electromagnetic fields. The invisible force rules that keep particles in place and make them act as if they’re solid.

It’s like LEGO bricks that look solid from afar. But come in closer, and you’d see they’re really just little bumps, holes, and gaps that happen to fit together. They’re not held by glue. They click because of the way they’re made to connect.

In the same way, the world around us isn’t stuck together by stuff. It’s held in place by invisible forces and rules. They’re the built-in instructions the universe has been following since the very beginning.

The Bible Saw This Coming

The Bible never describes reality as self-existent stuff. It talks about the world being upheld by God’s Word.

“He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” — Colossians 1:17
“The Son is… sustaining all things by his powerful word.” — Hebrews 1:3

The writers of the New Testament weren’t teaching particle physics. But their belief that reality is maintained moment by moment by God’s Word resonates with what modern physics shows. What seems solid is in fact dependent, relational, and held together by invisible forces.

John Wheeler’s Big Hint

Physicist John Wheeler famously said:
“No phenomenon is a phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon.”

In strict physics, Wheeler was speaking about quantum measurement. It’s when something tiny in the quantum world stops being many options and settles into one outcome as soon as we look at it.

Wheeler saw that reality doesn’t simply sit there, finished and static. It comes into being through interaction. Scripture says reality comes into being through a Word. A spoken act that calls forth what did not exist.

I’m not saying Wheeler proved Genesis. I am saying his insight rhymes with it.

If Nothing Is Solid, Then Everything Is Spoken

Now if reality’s foundation isn’t solid matter, then the real foundation must be something deeper.
Not matter. Not even energy.

But instruction. Code. Word.

The LEGO set of creation wasn’t poured out of a bag of plastic bricks. It was spoken into being. And it holds together because the Builder sustains all things by His powerful word.

So yes, the day physics admitted nothing is solid, it wasn’t discovering something new, it was only catching up to what Scripture had been saying all along.
