Most of Hydrogen was made in the big bang, most of the rest in fusuion reactions in stars from whence into space in nova and supernova explosions. And ultimately a small portion of this stuff wound up in the nebula from which our sun and solar system formed.

Where else would everything on this globe have come from? We are in outer space ourselves, cruising through it daily.

My study has it that during the long era of matter gradually attracting itself to other matter that led to planets in their orbits, the earth was virtually molten matter from top to bottom, from core to crust, the crust gradually forming. Most of the heavy metals gravitated to the center. Word is, not sure how it could be proven, that there is a large swimming pool of molten gold under enormous pressure near the center of the earth. And the heavier metals even closer. Again, not sure how we could know how sharp the dividing lines are between the different elements. I gather that most of the gold that we've found on the surface came from asteroids that landed after some surface solidity was obtained.

I like CSNY all in all but, as is the case with most of her songs, Joni did it much better. Had a more somber, alluring sound.

I remember in high school, the local radio station played Joni's version of Big Yellow Taxi for a few weeks. It was my introduction to her, and I dug it big time. Then, for some reason, they switched to a more poppy version of it by some band I forget. Was just weak and sappy by comparison, I called and complained to no avail. Weird.

My question was if they considered it part of our planet after they stated that all of earth came from outer space. They should and anyone else who does not know where our top soil comes from should spend some time in a library and educate themselves.

The components of soil, every last one of them, every atom, at some point came from the great beyond. I mean, cmon, this is not a trick question.
