The Evangelical Laminin Fallacies

Similar to how John 1:1-3 says that Jesus created the universe along with Yahweh, Colossians 1:15-17 emphasizes that Christ created the universe, in addition to certain invisible existents, and helps sustain them.  Though it would be absolutely false if it went so far as to say God and/or Christ genuinely created all things, including the necessary truths of logic and God himself, the Bible makes it plain in Genesis 1 that not everything is created, God being given as a textual example, and John 1 says that Yahweh and Jesus only created contingent things, not everything.  There are other things that cannot possibly have been created to be mentioned by me yet again below, but some evangelicals think Colossians 1:17, in saying that all things are held together by/in Christ, at least partly refers to how a sometimes loosely cross-shaped protein called the laminin holds cells together.

There are many errors in this.  Laminins are not all supposed to be universally shaped like a cross, and, as I will address in more detail below, they are not quite small enough to even be the underlying unit within the currently predominant framework of physics.  Regardless, a miniscule biological structure, albeit a microscopic one, is not the same as a superhuman being like Christ, so no, even if certain things about the laminin's size and shape were true, the laminin holding cells together could not possibly be the same as Jesus metaphysically holding a broad cosmos together.  Aside from this, cells are not the entirety of the physical world or else all matter would be living, so holding cells together would not be the same as binding all material composites together, not that everything is made of matter or could hinge on God to start with [1]!

As a protein, a laminin, if atomic theory is true, would be made of molecules, which are in turn comprised of atoms, which break down into protons, neutrons, and electrons; protons and neutrons, the nucleons of the atom, would also supposedly reduce to various arrangements of quarks.  A laminin would not be the smallest or most allegedly elementary particle [2], so it would not be what physically holds matter together at a quantum scale.  A laminin is not even subatomic, after all, since it would be made of multiple atoms!  Of course, not everything is constituted of matter, such as the self-necessary laws of logic (which thus could not depend on God or Christ in any way) and the empty space that is a metaphysical prerequisite for matter [3], so no physical unit holds "all" things together except for perhaps that which is also physical.  Laminins on the current paradigm would not have this quality anyway.

Colossians 1:17, moreover, does not mean that Jesus holds God together metaphysically, and God would be another thing that exists.  If anything, as the begotten Son of God, Christ would himself be a creation of the Father, yet the laws of logic and metaphysical space exist by necessity in the absence of both; reason being false still requires that it is true, and thus it transcends biology, physics, and theism altogether.  The ideas about laminins and Biblical philosophy, as well as how this would relate to broader science and other philosophical truths so much more foundational than anything about religion or science (what fools the masses are for neglecting pure reason in favor of either, when the truth about both could only depend on reason!), that some evangelicals espouse are utterly asinine.  They misrepresent reason, the Bible, and science all at once.
