We Are Stardust; I always liked that song, but haven't watched that video for a long time. I enjoyed it.
I like to think that the universe is alive, through us, having engendered us.

The universe has no purpose.
I know that, but it still engendered us, without any intention to do so.

Typical failure of female to make the male wear a condom.
EVERY ATOM on Earth is older than Earth.
Our protons all came to be very soon after the big bang and have been wafting around the universe ever since, only to become us for a while before moving on and becoming someone (or something) else.

Yes, but thank G-d there are no molecules, no particle grains. And space-time is older than any atom. You didn't read the paper, did you?

The rearrangement of protons and neutrons isn't trivial, over the last 14 billion years. Isn't trivial in a nuclear weapon, or even a chemical reaction (elements conserved, but bonded) such as CO vs CO2. Almost all was hydrogen, some helium and a tiny bit of lithium to start. And strangely, no anti-matter.
