Ah, yet another case of the shrinking angel phenomenon, an unexpected side effect of the "God of the Gaps" SOP. As we cram God into the gaps in order to prove he exists, God must grow smaller to fit the gaps as the gaps grow smaller, and the angels sadly shrink simultaneously. Perhaps the angels originally teased the atoms into place with incredibly fine angel hairs, but now it takes a minuaturized angel to do the same job.
