Question
How are atoms first started?
When Earth is around, is Uranium around? If yes, can it be as part of the Earth's Core (Herndon Theory) ??

Answer
Samson,
The first atoms were created in the first couple of minutes after the Big Bang.  Check out this page (you might need to hit "reload" on your browser a few times).

Or, try this page.  You will need to scroll down about a thrid of the way down the page (approximately).

As for the Herndon theory... you should ask a geologist, not an astronomer!  But here are a couple of articles about the topic anyway.  My first link here has links to other articles, so, check it out!

Expertise

I am not a professional astronomer by any means, but astronomy has been an interest of mine since childhood, and I am well-informed on the subject. If unable to answer someone`s question personally, I will know how to quickly find the answer online, because I keep myself informed about developments in the field and I know where to look for information.

Experience

I worked in an observatory for awhile at one point, doing various interesting things with a computer.
