They cannot. The exist and maybe they reemerge from stars or whatever. But they exist. If they don’t exist, you and I don’t exist. Think it through... Forget about what the Lefties taught you at the University. Think it through.

Stars are forming all the time. Different elements are created in stars at different stages of stellar development. Elements are being created all the time. Furthermore, most "elements" are composed of many different isotopes, some of them decay into different elements. Uranium 238 decays into lead 206 and uranium 235 decays into lead 207. So not all lead is as old as all uranium.

Created from WHAT? Come from WHERE? Nowhere to somewhere? Plus, nobody has ever been to a star. It is all hypothesis and I submit it is wrong. Stuff doesn't just show up from nowhere. It is either somewhere or nowhere at all. To posit otherwise is to chase Alice down the rabbit hole. Nonsense. Isotopes. Show me an isotope. Just one. Just one little isotope. If the nuclear content of an element changes it can't be the same element. But that never happens except in theory. Elements can't be destroyed unless you have invented an anti-matter machine. Gold is gold. Silver is silver and Hydrogen is hydrogen. They can all combine to form compounds but, in the end, its still gold. It is still Hydrogen.
