Incorrect; the majority of the hydrogen and most of the helium was created
in the first three minutes, but that is irrelevant to the discussion.

Hydrogen atoms were created in the big bang. Have you got some other
source of hydrogen?

Free neutron decay.

And the neutron was most likely produces by a *proton* turning
into a neutron via mechanisms like like the p-p chain. You
*fail* to convince me that our universe is producing protons
other that the big bang.

Again links that have nothing to do with the discussion.

You are the master of useless and meaningless links.

Free neutrons decay into a proton, an electron, and and electron
antineutrino.

Free neutrons have a mean lifetime of about 15 minutes.

A proton has a mean lifetime of somewhere around 10^30 years, a bit
longer than the age of the universe.

Once a free neutron has decayed, and it will, the resultant proton is
stable absent other input.

Some physics education you have there.
