Sol contains elements other than hydrogen and helium that it cannot generate from nuclear fusion. We do not expect that those elements were formed in the Big Bang. Thus Sol is not a first generation star. In fact, Sol's relatively high metallicity suggests that Sol is probably a population I star.
Pretty hefty assumptions here.
(1) Sol contains elements other than hydrogen and helium? Has anyone taken a sample from the sun and tested it out? Blowing hot air much these days?
(2) You assume these elements didn't form in the big bang.
(3) You assume there was a big bang.
(4) Sol is not a first generation star, which goes back to the circular argument.
(5) Sol has metalic elements. Again, anyone ever taken a sample from the sun? Seems to me like the scientific community is just blowing hot air on this one LOL
Congrats on making a post containing entirely of nonsensical assumptions.
Circular argument:
A) There's been several generations of stars because the sun is 3rd generation.
B) The sun is 3rd generation because there's been several generations (or populations) of stars.
