MATTHEW 10: 29-31
Douay-Rheims Version: “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows.”
Revised Standard Version: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
New American Bible: “Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
The Incredible Shrinking Man: “All this vast majesty of creation, it had to mean something. And then I meant something, too. Yes, smaller than the smallest, I meant something, too. To God, there is no zero."

that's a profound revelation the protagonist has toward the end of the film, as I recall. Much of the crisis/fear created is watching his diminishment to nothingness as he contends with an ever changing world. The novel is ickyer, with more emphasis on the meaness of people - not surprising this book stephen kings names as #1 influence.
I didn't know that about King. This is definitely one of my own favorite Matheson stories, full of fear, but a surprisingly upbeat ending.
