if everything is made from stardust...
then how i ask you, was anything above iron created? the highest element possible in a star is iron yet incredibly abundant elements such as copper are well... incredibly abundant! how could anything above iron have been made? easy... in my opinion... God:2thumbs:

We are all comprised of combinations of tiny little elements, like carbon. I do believe that it was God who arranged the elements in the proper order, though.
Re: if everything is made from stardust...
well i think along with star dust there were elements from other planets as well
because planets die letting whats left of them go through space aimlessly,
so things like gold copper beryllium etc. formed this planet from trillions
of space particles from other planets and through millions of years other metals
were made , just like a diamonds come from coal after being pressed and heated
under the earth for millions of years.

Another airtight argument for Creationism! Ma~an, how can we silly science-minded people argue with you?! Bananas! Startdust! Oh, and don't forget this one:

Damn near everything is carbon based. Anything you find in the dirt you can tell how old it is by carbon dating. In fact--this is my theory--I think that everything came from carbon. Trees live off of carbon dioxide, the very same air that we exhale. There's carbon in stars, planets--Venus, for example, is full of carbon. The atmosphere is carbon dioxide and the air is carbon monoxide (correct me if I'm wrong).
It's not really stardust, more like space debris. If you look at the big bang theory, our universe was created by a huge explosion. That explosion sent all kinds of debris flying all over, which was responsible for the planets and stars we've grown to know now. I wouldn't look at it as stardust, more like the aftermath of a huge natural "disaster".

. If I remember correctly, the ideal Fusion reactions are...
hydrogen + hydrogen = helium
helium + helium = carbon
carbon + carbon = iron.
Other combinations can occur, but are not as energetic.
For a stable Fusion reaction, Iron is the most stable nucleus, however, only the largest and hottest of stars can obtain this stable reaction. Smaller (and less stable) stars that try to start the next stage of Fusion often end up blowing up in a Nova, scattering their elements across space. And under extreme unstable conditions (such as the core of an exploding Super Nova), excessive energies can force the Fusion of Iron with other elements, creating heavier then Iron elements

Leave it to LenMiyata to give us the correct answer. ^__^ So after these Nova's occur, the debris(Elements) are scattered thru space and eventually make it to earth. The earth was constantly being bombarded with stuff from space like meteors thru out its history. Which probably contained some of these elements. If you want to see how many times the earth has been hit, look at the moons surface.
I think the history or discovery channel had something on this a while ago.
