Absolutely. The 2,000 yr old text says that all things are held together by God's Son, the one who died on the cross and His symbol is connecting every living thing on earth. It's pretty obvious it wasn't coincidental.
..and when, might I ask, did only living beings constitute "all things?"
As I write this reply, I am playing with a 2myo stone I recieved from a friend from the gem and mineral show in Arizona. The stone is by no means (that I have ever heard) held together by crosses of any sort and yet is very noticably a "thing."
My 2myo stone trumps your 2kyo book.
