That's part of the whole "Christ always existed from the beginning as he *is* God/son of God/part of God simultaneously" doctrine thing. It's like a retcon, but for religion.
I remember first seeing that Christ Holds Atoms Together insanity in this Jack Chick tract (near the end, pages 17-19). Gluons are apparently just another Secular Lie concocted to deny the almighty.
