Uh, yes we do.Nemesis-301 wroteand secondly, he is assuming that the elements found on earth are the same ones that exist in the stars... nobody knows that...
I remember reading somewhere that you can't fuse past iron. And you expect me to believe that uranium came from hydrogen?Razorback wroteWell, the first universal elements were hydrogen and helium. After the formation of Stars, new elements were produced out of nuclear fusion caused by extremely high temperatures and pressures within the core of stars.

Way to try to shift the burden of proof. But I'll play along. Have a quick read here. As you can see, we have a damn good understanding on how the stars work, and if you're wondering about how we can possibly detect the elements in celestial objects, we use a technique called spectroscopy. You can read about that too.Nemesis-301 wroteprove it?
You remember reading something "somewhere" without bothering to cite the source, and you seriously expect us to simply take your word for whatever it is that you've read? Try to back up your claims next time.Nemesis-301 wroteI remember reading somewhere that you can't fuse past iron. And you expect me to believe that uranium came from hydrogen?
The sun is a star. The sun is made of Hydrogen and Helium. Do you find other elements on the sun's surface? No you don't. Your claim is not backed up with proof.Razorback wroteHydrogen and Helium gave birth to various elements which in turn collided in nuclear reactions thus producing other various elements such as Uranium .
Why is it called element if it can be produced, i stand with nemesis.Razorback wroteHydrogen and Helium gave birth to various elements which in turn collided in nuclear reactions thus producing other various elements such as Uranium .
Again, yes we do find other elements on the sun's surface and below it. Would you like to search for them or would you rather have me list them for you?MrClass wroteThe sun is a star.

The elements as we know them are made from protons, neutrons and electrons. Hydrogen is the simplest element and is made of 1 proton and 1 electron, and its isotopes contain neutrons as well (1 for deuterium, 2 for tritium). Helium itself can be produced from the fusion of deuterium and tritium, so your theory is incorrect.NuclearVision wroteWhy is it called element if it can be produced, i stand with nemesis.
It is an element, it is used to produce something, it cannot be produced using other elements.
You could be right, but that's my theory.
That's not the point. If people want to make extraordinary claims, they'd better provide some evidence of credible, peer-reviewed research for it.NuclearVision wrote@eWizzard we all forget man, we're all humans you know...

http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/ee2/origin-solar-systemAtoms larger than hydrogen (with the exception of some helium and trace amounts of lithium which also formed from the energy of the big bang) are believed to be formed in the core of stars as a result of nuclear fusion. This process can only explain the presence of elements up to the mass of iron. It is suggested that the elements heavier than iron formed as a result of supernovae exploding. These elements were scattered into the universe and were eventually gathered by forming stars and planets.
And yet:Nemesis-301 wroteand secondly, he is assuming that the elements found on earth are the same ones that exist in the stars... nobody knows that...
Where do you think supernovae come from? And guess what, we're also able to detect the elements present in supernovae and their remnants using spectroscopy. And yes, the hydrogen atoms that make the earth as well as our bodies are as old as the universe itself.It is suggested that the elements heavier than iron formed as a result of supernovae exploding.
