[The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
Funny, aren't helium and hydrogen next to each other on the periodic table? Seperated by a tiny atomic difference, the kind of differences that the big universal change ate for breakfast.
Not for long, the spiritual eternal elements will also be there, bringing all the physical things into their proper little original place.
[Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom smashing machine
At the moment, it may be like an atomic smash up derby, but soon, it will whir into perfect harmony.

yes, H and He are #1 and #2, neighbors on the periodic table. However, when gravity permits, He may be fused into heavier elements, like C.
TMBG obviously knows a LOT more about the universe than you dad. Wait, so does the average dog, fish, sponge, rock....
"Not for long, the spiritual eternal elements will also be there, bringing all the physical things into their proper little original place."
Oh, dad, I have missed you!
OOp, speaking of They Might Be Giants, I've got another song dad might find interesting:
I've got a couple of hemispheres of uranium235 I'd like you to look after for a while, while I tidy up my workshop. Don't worry, the mass defect for any atomic reaction is really small, you wont even notice it. Your "big universal change" will eat it for breakfast, as you say.
What's next, a rebuttal of "Istanbul, not Constantinople"?
And once again, Ladies and Gentlemen, dad is trying for the Gold Medal in Stupid and, based on the performance we've just seen, he’s likely to be a shoo-in.
<< What's next, a rebuttal of "Istanbul, not Constantinople"?b. beau brinker: Well, with a name like "Flannelburger," how could he be otherwise?
I think the little birdhouse in dad's soul has got to hold a cuckoo!

Actually, this song is "Why Does the Sun Shine?" performed by Tom Glazer and Dottie Evans, from their "Space Songs" album. This information might be enough to find an MP3 of the original.
"At the moment, it may be like an atomic smash up derby, but soon, it will whir into perfect harmony." You do realize we die when that happens, right?

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
