No I'm not going to read it because it is nonsense. If heavy elements require elements from previous generation stars, then those of the previous generation do as well. It is has to start somewhere, and neither you nor science are able to explain how. No one bothers to think this one out. Just say you do not know, then you will be right.

The first generation of the stars had only hydrogen not heavy elements
before that was the big bang


Now you are not being coherent. You require heavy elements to come from a previous generation, going to an ultimate previous generation which...did not even have heavy elements? You are chasing your tail around a tree.

Swallow your pride and admit you do not know where the heavy elements came from--that no one does. Only in this way can you find the answer.
