Hi Nike,

I don't know what message board you are from, or what that board's take on things is, but unless he/she says something concrete, there is nothing specific to refute.

The writer seems to be presenting a recycled universe view which claims that stars do create heavier elements, but that some mechanism (there is variety amongst promoters of this idea what that mechanism is) converts those heavy elements back into Hydrogen, and distributes it to emptier space again.

If you can get this person to commit to observable specifics you can debate him/her seriously. As it is now, all you can do is discuss the predictive success of concordance cosmology, and ask this person to use his cosmology to predict some things that we will observe in the near future.
