Your claim is wrong. The solar system was once a cloud of gas, sure, but is was not just hydrogen, it was composed of virtually *all* the elements currently found in the solar system, even if it was *mostly* hydrogen. How could it be otherwise?

Read a book on stellar evolution and learn a thing or 2, rather than just make it up as you go along, that only makes you look uneducated and lazy..

Don't be stupid. It was all hydrogen. Matter had to start somewhere.

I'm not the stupid one here.

Sure, matter had to start somewhere, and that would be in the cores of the very first stars, which were made from pure hydrogen and helium... and they almost certainly had no planets. Those stars lived and died normal lives, and the biggest of them created all the heavier elements when they went supernova. Those heavier elements mixed with other hydrogen clouds and a second generation of stars were born, this time with planets formed from those aforementioned heavier elements.

Read a book about stellar evolution, rather than disparage people who clearly know a whole lot more about this subject than you do, which is essentially zero. To do otherwise only reveals your total stupidity about all of this.
