One thing that may be being overlooked is the source of the
higher-numbered elements.  There is to my knowledge no reason
for the Big Bang to have produced anything more complicated than
hydrogen, directly.

I always understood that the reason for the existance of the
other elements was fusion, that is, big star forms, fuses all
sorts of things, expells them via one method or another (novas, etc)
and then they are available to coalesce into stars and such.

Of course, if I have completely got this wrong, then some
astrophysicist reader might be polite enough to explain the
reason why there is any Uranium left anywhere at all?
