'''Helium''' is the second element on the [[periodic table of the elements]].<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Physical Science''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1999, 2000</ref> It is also the second most abundant element in the universe, after [[hydrogen]]. Modern physicists have acertained than most of the helium origanated from the [[Big Bang]];<ref>For a detailed account of this see:  http://www.lbl.gov/abc/wallchart/chapters/10/0.html</ref> however this is disputed by all forms of [[creationists]].<ref>See http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/ApJ/journal/issues/ApJL/v509n1/985623/985623.web.pdf</ref> Both groups generally agree is that subsequently helium has been created by [[nuclear fusion]] in the center of stars.<ref>A detailed account of this can be found at http://zebu.uoregon.edu/textbook/energygen.html</ref> Helium is also the by-product of alpha-particle radioactivity. Radioactive decay of heavy elements deep inside the [[Earth]] sends helium leaking into natural gas wells, from which it is obtained for commercial use.  The atomic weight of Helium-4, the most common isotope, is 4.002603254.
