“So how do I turn lead into Gold? (PB>AU)”

You load your gun, you rob a bank. Something along these lines. (Look out when the lead comes back your way!)

This all I need to know: Book of Genisis,..God’s creation of the Earth, water, rivers, gold.....”10And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. ...”

Do the stars get heavier because they collided with a high fructose corn syrup star?

When a particular branch of science becomes “settled” it is no longer science...it’s religion.

Simple scientific answer: The Big Bang.

Simpler REAL answer: God.

And the two are not mutually exclusive.

“The True Origins of Gold in Our Universe May Have Just Changed, Again”

Stupid headline too. How could the “true origins of gold” change? Did gold go back in time and re-originate itself?

“Theory of origins of gold ... may have just changed, again.” would have been a lot better.

A lot of science is still not settled.

Aliens aren’t on the gold standard. They use “Latnium”. At least in the Star Trek universe.

That is what I believe too. Others are free to their belief as well.

"If one reads their bible, the tons of gold, in Solomon’s temple, had several tons of gold; even when the Queen of Sheba visited, she gave him a few more tons - where did this gold go?"

It's right there, along with the Ark:

By the way, at today's prices, gold is worth about $50 million per ton, meaning Solomon's gold, if he had, say, ten tons, would be worth $500 million today -- a substantial sum.

The total of all the gold in all the world's banks & vaults today is around 200,000 tons worth around $10 trillion, with a "t".
