Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

Heavy Metals are elemental not mineral. Breaking down an element requires nuclear forces. You can biochemically combine elements but you are not "breaking them down."

When speaking of heavy metal, geochemists don't usually mean the atoms. Very few heavy metals are ever found in nature as pure elements. They are almost always found combined with other elements in characteristic molecules and minerals. When geochemist say heavy metal, they often mean the characteristic molecule or mineral in which the said metal is usually found. So when chemist say breaking down heavy metal, they don't mean nuclear fission. They mean chemically taking apart the characteristic molecules in which the heavy metals are found.

huh?!

A heavy metal is any metal or metalloid of environmental concern. The term originated with reference to the harmful effects of cadmium, mercury and lead, all of which are denser than iron. It has since been applied to any other similarly toxic metal, or metalloid such as arsenic,[4] regardless of density.[5] Commonly encountered heavy metals are chromium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic, selenium, silver, cadmium, antimony, mercury, thallium and lead. More specific definitions of a heavy metal have been proposed; none have obtained widespread acceptance.[6]

I see elements, not compounds...


Also, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/art...6108002668

This paper presents the results of modeling the distribution of eight critical heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, nickel, lead and zinc) in topsoils using 1588 georeferenced samples from the Forum of European Geological Surveys Geochemical database (26 European countries)....

That's from a geochemist's paper.... all I see is elements.


For a moment, there, I thought my nuclear fusion bias was working up... but... nope!
