Brother Bathfire, this Periodic Table of the Elements is a mighty work. Truly the Templeton Prize is as good as yours.
I might note that Salt (Genesis 19:26) could be elemental; or it could be a compound of nitre and lightning. I am not sure.
I confess that Manna (Exodus 16:15) is a mystery to me. It is compared with Bdellium, but the Hebrew word literally means "what [in G*d's name] is it?", so even the Patriarchs were confused by the substance. Scholars say it may have been tamarisk sap or lichen, and therefore a plant substance and not elemental.
Joy fills my soul when I look at the Christian Table of the Elements. I am certain that this is the greatest scientific advance since Michelson and Morley discovered the aether. Bless you, Sir, may God bless you.
