I'm sorry but, are you guys for real? Like is this site one big satíre or something, or are you really serious about this? All this?
First of all, to clear up your little mis-understandings with us evolving from primates and also coming from stars, what the man in the video is attempting to say, is as follows:
Through astronomical and deep space observation, using spectral analysis and so forth, it has become apparent that about 70% of the universe is made of hydrogen. Hydrogen itself is the lightest element, it only has one proton in its nucleus, and an electron 'orbiting' that.
Helium, the second lightest element, holding two protons and an electron, occupies about 29% of the rest of the known universe. These are very basic astronomical facts so keep with me here.
Now, it has been
proven through observational data, that our sun is a giant mix of Hydrogen, Helium, Carbon, Oxygen, Argon, Iron etc. and I know you probably haven't studied science too much, so this may confuse you because you wonder how elements such as Carbon and Iron could be part of a burning hot ball of gas. So first of all we'll start with how they're made.
Well, stars are created through a very specific process where clouds of mainly Hydrogen, and small traces of other elements (these other elements, can turn out to form planets and the like) come together.
They are usually found in what we call
nebulae, and these nebulae (which are clouds of these clouds of gas mentioned earlier), usually just float around minding their own business in space. Here's an image of a classic nebulae:

But when the nebula's part of the galaxy reaches an area of increased gravitional density and intensity (yes, our galaxy rotates), this extra stress can often cause the cloud to collapse in on itself. As the nebulae becomes denser and more compact, the gravitational stress is too much and it splits apart, usually in to many different smaller masses of gas.
These smaller (well, actually, they're huge) masses of gas condense down in to ball shapes, their gravitational pull causing it to implode on itself. Eventually they become balls of rotating gas, and once the core is compact enough (compressing matter makes it hotter, FYI) it reaches a temperature of about 5000 degrees Celsius.
This is hot enough to spark fusion. A process where matter loses its bonds to its electrons, the only things that repel atoms from each other when they come close (because of electromagnetic charge). So now they are protons flying around by themselves, with no electrons, or 'shields'. This is called a state of plasma.
Now at 5000 degrees, the atoms are moving pretty damn fast. 10,000km/s in fact, and when they collide they collide with enough force to fuse together.
Remember how I said Hydrogen is one proton? And helium is two? Yup well hydrogen in plasma state, fusing together, makes helium. This is how lighter elements fuse in to heavier elements inside stars.
Helium can go on to fuse in to heavier stuff such as carbon, and oxygen etc.
Stars usually last around something like 10 billion years on average, before running out of lighter elements. The core is iron by then, as iron is the heaviest element created in a star (an atomic mass of about 50 or something, which means 50 atomic particles fused together inside the nucleus).
Then, I'm going to make this really simple; the star runs out of fuel.. the fusion process stops, the star collapses, the atoms inside reach critical density, causing a HUGE explosions and expulsion of gasses and minerals.
So all those heavier elements it was making in its entire lifetime, just got blown away, at almost the speed of light. They will collect together in other nearby nebulas, and when a star is created inside that nebula, it will have previous heavy elements from dead stars inside it.
The whole process starts again, but this time, it has heavy elements. This time, when the new star is a rotating mass of hydrogen, helium and heavier elements, the circumferential force (force of gravity acting on different materials differently according to their mass) splits the lighter and heavier elements apart.
Heavier elements, such as iron, end up orbiting the hot ball of gas in the middle of this new solar system. The little bits of iron start clumping up, forming larger masses. Before you know it, they get gravitational pulls of their own, increasing the rate at which they build up.
You get planets.
Now, after millions of years of bombardment by meteors, the planet surface cools down. These meteors all have ice in them (look up what meteors are made of, if you don't believe me), this adds water to our planet.
One of you wanted to know how a life emerged from lifeless rock, I think it's better I don't try to explain it as that's not my field. But here, watch this.

By the way, scientists HAVE been able to make life in a lab. Starting with non-living ingredients, and ending up with self replicating life. Though I just can't find a link to prove it, so don't take my word for it
sorry.
Anyway, some of the threads here are just so ridiculous, I'm starting to think you're all just trolling.
Oh and please..

Wow, what's next they are going to say we're made out of element when it clearly states in the BIBLE we are made out of clay.

So the Bible says we're made out of clay? Okay anybody who knows what clay is should disagree, lol. Anyway, so the bible says it aye? Who says the bible is correct? God? Who says God is correct? The bible?
Get over yourselves. It's just all one big loop, you have nothing but a book and blind faith. Which is nothing to be proud of. Btw, I know I'll probably be banned or something just for going against your beliefs, but that shows just how insecure you all are.
