On behalf of Brainz Magazine, let us introduce, Timeout A. Taumua, a multi-award-winning author of The Magnificence of the 3, an expository book about the scientific nature of the Bible. The book and the author had been dubbed by some prominent editorial reviewers as "a rare work constructed by a rare being" and "a rare book by a rare person".
The central theme of The Magnificence of the 3 (TMO3) is the claim that the atom and its particle structure were symbolically embedded within biblical creation stories, starting from Genesis to the crucifixion and beyond. The claims identify symbolic patterns that mimic the atom’s opposite-attract design with God as the central force, long before modern science discovered the atom. The atom consists of three particles, the positively charged proton and the negatively charged electron, with the neutral neutron without a charge. The proton and neutron live together in the nucleus of the atom, while the electron particles run around in circles above them.
Examples of biblical symbolic parallels include:
The serpent revealing a God who knew both “good” and “evil,” symbolic of science’s “positive” and “negative” forces, with God as the neutron. Genesis 3:5.
Noah’s three sons, from whom all of humanity descended, represent the three particles of the atom: Ham, Canaan, the negative electron, Japheth, the positive proton, and Shem, the neutral neutron. Genesis 9:25 to 27.
The Ark of the Covenant portrays God positioned between two opposing cherubim, mirroring the neutron between positive and negative forces. Exodus 25:17 to 22.
The Ark of the Testimony’s boxes were constructed with three layers: a wooden box of acacia between two boxes made of gold. Exodus 37:1 to 2.
Jesus, as the neutron, was crucified between two opposite prisoners, one as a positive proton whom Jesus took to paradise, and one as a negative, since he was left behind. Luke 23:39 to 43.
Because of their recurring presence, these biblical structures appeared deliberate, as though they were meant to preserve a three part pattern paralleling the design of the atom. Here is the kicker.
When scientists developed the atomic bomb, they split the neutral neutron particle rather than the proton or electron. When the bombs were dropped on Japan, witnesses were given the display of God’s three manifestations from the Old Testament, cloud, fire, and blinding light. Here was a script from the co pilot of the Bockscar that dropped the second bomb on Nagasaki.
“Suddenly, the light of a thousand suns illuminated the cockpit. Even with my dark welder’s goggles, I winced and shut my eyes for a couple of seconds. I guessed we were about seven miles from ‘ground zero’ and headed directly away from the target, yet the light blinded me for an instant. … I’ve never seen anything like it! Biggest explosion I’ve ever seen. … This plume of smoke I’m seeing is hard to explain. A great white mass of flame is seething within the white mushroom shaped cloud. It has a pinkish, salmon color. …”.[1]
Why the symbolism matters
When I came across this article, I wondered why neither the Jews nor the Christians involved in developing these bombs recognised the prophetic parallels between scripture and their public display. By then, I already had enough to support the claim that the atom was parabolically embedded within biblical creation stories. Whether these parallels are viewed as symbolic coincidences or the philosophical reflections of a layman, the reproductions of God’s three biblical manifestations were too exact to be ignored. However, this final piece sealed the argument.
This symbolism matters for several reasons.
First, it explains God’s omnipresence with structure rather than by faith, making it easier to accept how God can be everywhere in the universe at once.
Second, it helps explain how God can live in all of us separately, and the meaning of “the kingdom of heaven is within you,” as Jesus taught. Luke 17:21.
Third, the precise symbolism of the three crosses reflecting the structure of the atom adds credibility to the existence and mission of Jesus.
Fourth, compared to the confusion surrounding the subject, it provides a clearer explanation for the meaning of humanity being created in the “image and likeness” of God.
The image and likeness of God
One of the most debated elements of biblical creation is what God’s image and likeness were. Scripture left this mysterious, except for the serpent’s revelation of a God who knew “good” and “evil.” Modern language coincidentally associates positive and negative as antonyms or opposites, and good as the antonym of evil.
This common question, despite its childish connotation, is still legitimate, "If humanity was created in the same image, why do we not all look alike?" The scientific explanation is that the “image and likeness” referred not to physical appearance, but to the material used to create human life itself. God first created the atom in His image and likeness, then used it to create Adam. How could this be if God was not aware of the atom?
The evidence was publicly revealed in 1945. The neutron based bombs reproduced the symbolic pattern of God’s three manifestations from the Old Testament, cloud, fire, and blinding light. In this interpretation, the neutron appears symbolically as the “God particle” within scripture.
Could scripture preserve scientific memory?
Whether these parallels are viewed as symbolic coincidences or layman’s philosophical reflections, the reproduction of God’s three Old Testament manifestations did not emerge through sermons or prayers, but with science. Long before the modern age revealed the atomic world, scripture repeatedly described creation through patterns of opposites and a central force that holds all things together: the relationship between God, good, and evil.
There are two other fascinating aspects of the atom’s scientific design with biblical implications.
First, its ability to change shape to form a separate element from its former self, referred to as “electron capture”.[2]
Second, its age has been estimated to be so long that some refer to the atom as immortal.[3]
The electron capture process allows the atom to transform into a different element from its former state. For example, a nitrogen gas atom with seven protons and seven electrons can transform itself by ejecting an electron to form carbon gas with six protons and six electrons.
This atomic design was depicted biblically through stories emphasising the human ability to change characteristics. In the Old Testament, God used sacrifices and offerings to preserve the message that, regardless of one’s sinful past, humans can still change shape to improve their chances of immortal survival. In the New Testament, water baptism was meant to symbolise the same purpose for the modern world. Humanity’s ability to spiritually transform appears, in this interpretation, to mirror a pattern already embedded within the design of the atom itself.
The atom and the search for God
Whether these parallels are viewed as divine revelations, symbolic coincidences, or philosophical ruminations, the relationship between biblical imagery and the structure of the atom raises questions that should not be ignored. Long before modern science uncovered the atomic world, scripture repeatedly described creation through patterns of opposites and immortality.
Throughout biblical narratives, God appears to favour good over evil, depicting the neutron’s relationship with the positive proton. From Genesis to God’s place on the Ark between opposing cherubim, and to the crucifixion’s three crosses, these patterns appear meant to preserve a hidden structural language within the stories.
The atom bombs transformed these parallels from abstract symbolism into something more tangible. The appearance of cloud, fire, and light emerging from the neutron splitting process mirrored imagery associated with God’s presence in the Old Testament wilderness.
Based on these symbolic parallels, the atom is not exclusive to science alone, but a hidden witness preserving the secrets of creation. Scripture preserved more than symbols, as scientific explorations of the universe accidentally revealed their parabolic meaning, which can now be used to definitively determine the question of whether creation emerged by accident or deliberate design.

Timeout decided to join our community to share the scientific meaning of biblical stories that God revealed to him, such as the identities of the Ark of the Covenant, the Garden of Eden, the Tree of Knowledge, the Tree of Life, and others, including parabolic tales depicting the splitting of the atom. In light of the 25 book awards and the nature of our community, these discoveries should be of interest to some of us, if not all.
