It's my job to take SU(3) and put it on a stage so readers can see it happening.If you manage to take the SU(3) symmetry group and put it on a stage, you deserve a Nobel in literature. It'll be the first subject that got two nobels in different fields (physics, 2004, literature, 20xx).

Don't the quarks and antiquarks annihilate one another? If so, what is the product of that annihilation? A gamma ray like with electrons and positrons?
In the context of the proton or neutron, they are most likely to annihilate to a gluon again, but photons are also possible. They would however remain a part of the conglomerate of virtual and real particles which we call a proton or neutron. All these particles are actually a wild mix of all different kinds of elementary particles popping in and out of existence due to quantum fluctuations.
Popping in and out of existence? Does that mean scientist have abandoned the notion that matter can be neither created nor destroyed? The idea that everything has to come from somewhere actually leads to infinite regression because how did it get to the place it came from?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
