true..Didnt say they were the same percentage but composed of elements found in nature(planet earth) in decent amounts...if it was exactly the same it wouldn't be higher life organisms as we know it.
if probably earth contained a large amount of plutonium present abundantly and life could exist in such condition whatever species evolved would have developed some kind of immunity towards it(atleast to higher dosage of radiation levels).
There was a documentary which showed that there were lot of animals and plant life living in the chernobyl area. The scientists measured the radiation levels in the cabbage plants there and decided that it was very high and would be fatal to many or atleast cause serious illness..but they came across an old lady who was staying within the vicinity for many years since and was munching the cabbage leaves without any problems!! Those cabbages with high radiation levels were their main food. If those cabbages were sold in the supermarket in US you would have a lot of sick americans(even many young ones)..but that old lady had developed immunity to certain levels of radiation over the years without any adverse effect.
