An open challenge to evolutionists.

No that's not a chemical reaction. It is a nuclear reaction.

You need physics to model that: chemistry can't help you there.

Chemistry is all about the bonding brought about by electrons. What you have in stars involves nuclear binding, i.e. between protons and neutrons.

Thats what i said.

..."which use a nuclear reaction" ...

And i repeat, i said "chemical" NOT "chemical reaction"

I wonder how many posters will take your comment seriously.
It's happened before that someone thought I was a creationist.
An atheist creationist, eh.
Go figure.
Oh come on!
Would you really mind if some amazing member picked up such a f-g end and then smoked it, thus claiming you to be a creationist?
You can't be that up tight over the nonsense of a young earth etc, can you?

I've long ago become inured to the bizarreness of this place.

God magic?
2H -> D + e⁺ + ν.

D + H -> ³He + γ

2 ³He -> ⁴He + 2H

So 6 hydrogen nuclei generate 1 helium nucleus plus 2 hydrogen nuclei back again, plus 2 positrons, 2 neutrinos and some gamma radiation, i.e. release of energy.

But I had to look this up, because this is not chemistry. This is nucleosynthesis, i.e. interactions between nucleons, rather than electrons.

(D = deuterium, i.e. "heavy hydrogen", with a proton and a neutron in the nucleus.)

RF is a kind of personification of humanity, imo.
Just a lot more safe and quite useful. You might even pick up the odd restoration clue or whatever?
Being the top poster then you must love the place?

No, I am a religious person, who use methodological naturalism. But I am also a cognitive relativist, so I accept that creationists believe differently than me.
OK. So would you like to offer your idea for the age of our Earth? I will go with 4.6 billion yes. :)

Sheesh. How many times???
I said chemical, not chemical reaction.

"Omit suns (which are made from chemicals) from my list which use a nuclear reaction to be a sun, both fueled by the results of chemical reaction hydrogen > helium, and I turn create the elements that bond in chemical reaction."

What fuel does a sun use?

What fuel does a sun use?
Hydrogen.

The proton-to-proton reaction chain reaction (nucleosynthesis) would require at least 6 hydrogen to make a single helium nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

The nucleosynthesis - fusing lighter elements (eg hydrogen) into heavier elements (eg helium), will release high energy, especially heat, thus high temperature.

Yes, i know, i was being flippant in exchange for exchemists flippancy
