Interesting behavior from universe

First of all, don't act like you know everything and question my intelligence after i ask. I asked to the professor and even he couldn't really answered me.
You know how matter was in the beginning, that is of course if you accept big bang. All matter existed in isolation, in elementary particle form ( at least for a while) and then proton and electron coming together formed atoms. My question is why? The only fundamental forces between these pair is electrostatic attraction and gravitational attraction. They should have  normally just made a head and collision and annihilate into a neutron. Atomic state is absurdly weird, electrons supposedly spinning around protons? You may claim neutron is more energetic than an atom but clearly not as it is present in atomic nucleus too. I just want speculation, not copied texts from your textbooks

What 4tran said, also, stop being anal about what is taught. You have a choice to accept, deny, and question all things that come into your awareness. So, why the anger? And another thing, science isn't as much concerned with the "WHY"'s as it is the "HOW"'s. That's what religion is for so you don't get stuck on the WHY of things. But, don't be surprised if what you find conflicts with your religiously believed dogma. I actually find it intellectually stimulating when there's a conflict between what is known and what I learn. From this conflict (or resistance) I grow in wisdom; like all things that are resisted.

I only have a very simplistic form of belief.
"Not everything we know is real and not everything that is real is known." Therefore the logical conclusion is that we must always learn.

"When the map doesn't match the ground, change the map."
"Change what you can't love and love what you can't change."
"A fool learns from his own mistakes; a wise-man learns from the mistakes of others."
"The definition of decadence is the belief that pleasure is the opposite of pain; the absence of pain is comfort. The ultimate comfort is death." So, if this is true, would that mean that those that are decadent -finding pleasure in comfort- are finding pleasure in being dead?
"Those that look like death are the most reluctant to die."

The only reason we are having so much conflict with what is said and what is known is because we have forgotten the fundamental basics of rhetoric, logic, grammar, and epistemology (the study of how knowledge works).
Knowledge might be compared to oh-so-many steps along an untraveled path with an equally mysterious destination. Where we are along that path is even a mystery and is the core reason behind most conflicts. If everyone understood this, we could all still be right, but that doesn't mean that we can stop learning or researching to discover things outside of what is known. Knowledge might be also likened to a ageless map, but the ground is constantly shifting therefore the map must be constantly redrawn.

Of course, this is all still a personal opinion and some words of others, but the ideas are becoming more and more logical and impact the practicality of our choices. :)
