Question:

is steel is natural content of earth.?

did bible stated that steel is coming from outer space. i mean meteor rocks that enter our earth sistem contains the minerals iron.

Answer:

steel is manufactured from iron ore and coal in furnaces and it is not found in raw state in nature
If you are using either an NAB or RSV translation of the Bible, steel is only mentioned once in the Bible. Compare Nahum 2:4 (NAB) and Sirach 31:26 (RSV). There is no reference of an outer space in the Bible. Furnace is mentioned in Sirach. It takes a lot of energy to mix Iron and Carbon to produce steel. The alloy can only be produced in the furnace at an extremely high temperature.
First of all, use spell check and read back over what you wrote before submitting it. Second of all steel is a product made from iron through a very complicated scientific process which I will not bother to explain to you at this time. Iron is a naturally occuring substance on our planet which is mined from within the earth like other minerals. Furthermore, I don't recall the Bible saying anything about steel from outer space. What Bible are you reading?
Steel is not elemental, if that's what you mean. It's a metal alloy, a combination of mostly iron and some carbon. Iron and carbon both occur naturally on the Earth, but you have to melt them together to make steel.
