Abstract
The philosophy of structuralism asserts that science must use physical models in the quest to understand nature. According to structuralism and principles of the Judeo-Christian worldview, a proper and suitable model of matter must meet criteria of physical reality, truth, unity, and causality. Actual properties of the electron are compared to the properties of point-like models used in theories such as relativity theory, quantum mechanics, and the Dirac theory of the atom. Comparison shows that only a physical model of the electron with finite size can explain the fundamental properties of the electron, i.e. charge, mass, spin, magnetic moment, and stability.
