Of course anyone believing God already knows he would have generated all the elements, but did God actually describe the element formation process? Did he say all that's required for all the elements seen to show up in our solar system? Did he say how they could form LOCALLY in our solar system and still give all the planets, moons, comets, asteroids and even our sun at the center? The answer is without any doubt, yes. But first some background: Elements are what make up all you see around you: water, air, metals, land, rocks, even you are made of elements. Specifically, elements are the atoms making up all that you are, and all the matter surrounding you. Those atoms range from hydrogen (the lightest element) to beyond uranium (one of the heaviest elements). But how is it that there are so many different types? What was the process used to form all the elements? Science has shown that right after the "big bang" 12 billion years ago, the only elements around were the lightest ones, elements like hydrogen, helium, etc... The lightest elements from that "big bang" are not sufficient to form things like you, a car, a rock, etc... Therefore, the "big bang" can NOT be the ENTIRE process that leads up to what you see now all around you. The bible agrees in this regard in that at the start of Genesis, God said that the earth was VOID and WITHOUT FORM, the matter making it up, merely "waters" or lighter elements. There is no statement of land or any denser matter existing to make up either earth or the heavens. Science agrees. God then gave another hint, he said that darkness was upon the face of the deep, hence those lighter elements were cool. Science agrees that the lighter elements initially were quite hot as the "big bang" occurred, but that the matter cooled or went dark soon after. So at this point, the elements are still only the lighter ones, not sufficient to make up everything around you and the elements are cool and dark, obviously God was not done, but just starting. In order to form heavier elements from the lighter ones, the lighter element atoms have to be sped up and jammed together in collisions under intense pressure and heat in the core of the star. During this time, the lighter elements undergo what's called FUSION and huge amounts of energy are output. All this occurs when the lighter elements have gathered to form a star, the star "lights up". God agrees, he then said "let there be light" and "separated the light (ENERGY) from the darkness (MATTER)". This would occur when the "pre-sun" star began to shine. So here both God and science agree, heavier elements would be forming in a "pre-sun" star. But the range of elements formed within the star is limited in that science admits that the elements formed would end at iron. As discussed in previous articles, a "firmament" RING can form in that "pre-sun" star under the surface of the star. The heavier elements forming to make up the "firmament" ring actually ABSORB excess energy in the solar atmosphere as they form. It's a kind of regulation of the solar atmosphere's temperature which can run up to 100 MILLION degrees while the surface of the sun is only in the thousands of degrees. So here we have two sources of heavier elements forming in the "pre-sun" star: 1. Fusion in the core. 2. Fusion in the "pre-sun" star's atmosphere. The #1 type fusion is limited to elements below iron. The #2 type of fusion only cools or regulates the atmosphere's maximum temperature when the elements formed are HEAVIER than iron. Something to notice though is that elements fusing below the element iron are in fact releasing energy and adding to the fusion process, heating the sun's atmosphere. That excess energy is then absorbed in the #2 type fusion listed above. From this, atmospheric fusion tends to FORCE lighter elements below iron to become elements heavier than iron. This is due to all the excess energy of the lighter element fusion being available to nearby atoms. That energy output from the lighter element fusion allows other nearby atoms to join in and jump directly to becoming the heaviest elements. If this doesn't occur, the local temperatures of that lighter element fusion would be extreme. Heavier than iron fusion in the "pre-sun" star's atmosphere allows both the temperature regulation and the direct jump to the heaviest elements. Also notice, the atmospheric fusion only regulates or cools when the heaviest elements formed are below the heaviest elements seen. As the elements formed become too heavy, they become unstable and end up dumping out all their stored energy in a FISSION explosion. Therefore the atmospheric fusion is both an energy source (lighter elements fusion) and a cooling process (heavier than iron fusion). The end result being elements that tend to migrate to the heaviest elements later to undergo a FISSION explosion. Looking again specifically at only the fusion cooling process: 1. Elements above iron: good cooling. 2. The heaviest elements formed: some cooling but the elements formed tend to want to release the energy stored up. They no longer want to cool, but instead want to explode in FISSION. All this is occurring in the "pre-sun" star's atmosphere and the resultant elements output from the fusion tend to end up as the heaviest elements formed which then drop down below the surface of the "pre-sun" star. Those elements then build up in the "firmament" RING. And as previously discussed, God said he moved UPON the surface of the "waters" (above the surface of the "pre-sun" star) and that later the "firmament" formed below the surface of the "waters", or between the "waters" both above and below that "firmament" being formed. Both God and science then say there was an explosion, the elements shooting outwards. But science doesn't show the means for the heaviest elements to get sent out. In contrast, God's "firmament" explosion does send out the heaviest elements since the "firmament" is the source of the heaviest elements which are in fact exploding. Something else to notice, the "firmament" formed BELOW the surface of the "pre-sun" star. The surface is MUCH cooler than the atmosphere. FISSIONABLE matter is MORE STABLE when cooler, but it's also LESS stable the more concentrated it becomes. The concentration of FISSIONABLE matter is the main reason why the heavier elements didn't fission away in the atmosphere, but is also the reason it then later exploded when under the surface of the "pre-sun" star. The cooler surface of the sun is the reason those heavier elements were able to begin concentrating without exploding. But eventually the concentration and temperature becomes sufficient for the heavier elements in that "firmament" ring to undergo a FISSION explosion. When that explosion occurs, massive energy is output and has to go somewhere. The elements nearby the "firmament" ring are all lighter elements. They have to deal with all that massive energy output and pressure of the adjacent explosion and as such, they would then undergo a FUSION explosion adding even MORE energy to the explosion event. So notice, TWO explosion types are right next to each other, the "firmament" RING exploding initially, the lighter elements around it having NO CHOICE but to follow suit: 1. FISSIONABLE heavier than iron elements making up the "firmament" RING becoming unstable and at one point on the RING initiating the "firmament" RING explosion event. 2. FUSIONABLE lighter elements surrounding the "firmament" RING being compressed and hit with massive energies and temperatures during that "firmament" FISSION explosion, they then take off in a FUSION explosion. That's a HUGE base of both heavier and lighter elements exploding, both releasing ENERGY and initially being CONFINED under the surface of the "pre-sun" star. That ring then explodes out, taking all those various elements with it. The end result is that BOTH explosion types go off at about the same time, and during the explosion: 1. The FISSIONABLE heaviest elements are splitting. Elements from IRON to beyond uranium being formed from the heaviest elements. Some of the heaviest elements in exploding out, don't have the chance to fission. 2. The FUSSIONABLE lightest elements are joining. Elements from hydrogen to IRON being formed from the lightest elements. Some of the lightest elements in exploding out, don't have the chance to fusion. Notice: Both processes are creating ALL THE ELEMENTS and the most stable form during each process is: IRON. From all this, you can now see that God gave a process that would in fact generate all the elements. You can also see that there is a built in TIME dependence in that the "firmament" RING has to later trip into a FISSION explosion after HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of years of that "firmament" build up in the "pre-sun" star. It's pretty clear that God gave the correct process able to form all the elements seen and able to properly shoot them outwards from the "pre-sun" star. God made it all, Jesus died for our sins.
