These twelve particles (fermions) are divided into two sets: six quarks and six leptons. The quarks are called up, down, strange, charm, top and bottom. The leptons are called the electron, electron neutrino, muon, muon neutrino, tau and tau neutrino.
The four forces of nature are: gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force and the strong nuclear force.
In addition to Matter and Dark Matter these tiny, invisible particles and forces define our very existence in this Universe. Think about that a moment, we are literally held together by the attraction and repulsion of things we can't even see. Sounds a lot like belief to me. I don't understand why religion and science don't get on, to me, science is simply a way of expressing God's (and I take that term loosely) creation. Like a painter or photographer trying to capture the visual beauty or horror of our world.
