I noticed this in one of KF's comments:

Had you said, that the set-up of the cosmos that programs quarks, gluons etc to make a cosmos in which for instance per fine tuning the first four elements are H, He, O, C — just what we need to base life on, with N as a couple more elements down the list, making proteins, you might have had a point.
UD link, my emphasis. I've seen him mention this before.

My chemistry education didn't go past secondary school, so maybe I am missing something, but in what sense are these the first four elements? Certainly not as presented on the periodic table, nor as initially created (heh) by Big Bang nucleosynthesis. If based on what is necessary for life why would helium be in the 'first four'?
Does anyone here know what he is on about?

For $500, Alex, KF is a dumb fuck?

Proteins with helium in them, for crying out loud...

Where's Louis?

If he was going for actual order, it's even funnier, because he's reversed carbon and oxygen and nitrogen would be between them.

If he has some bizarre notion that helium is necessary for life (maybe he thinks the sun needs it?), why put it ahead of oxygen and carbon?

This ranks somewhere between gravity is the strongest force and ticks like watermelon on the TARD-scale.

I get the impression KF could use some Li.
