It's actually true, but not due to the big bang theory, but to supernovae. The late Dr. Carl Sagan said it in one of the most religious statements I've ever heard: "We are star stuff"
It actually holds true physically. Stars start out as nothing but hydrogen and helium. They are huge fusion furnaces and within them new elements are fused: Iron (in your hemoglobin) Calcium (in your bones) Oxygen (in water) Carbon (everywhere) and even gold (in your teeth if you're getting on). Sooner or later the star goes nova and blasts all of those elements out into the universe. You and I are made of star stuff created billions of years ago. You and I *are* connected to the universe!

Yes I know, I am somewhat interested in science and space. I'm glad that you have her.
Now back to the Mr Sagan - due to his idea we all have minerals that actually are necessary for making a planet which is just great.
I hold with those who favor fire.
