The goal of creating valuable elements from less-valuable ones is only achievable with an incredible amount of energy in, say, a collider, and cannot be achieved through any other means except a potentially divine one. To call it blatantly an enemy to Christianity is a bit misleading, as the pursuit would merely serve as an illusory promise of riches. Alchemy is more than just that. Agreed it probably not an enemy of Christianity, but I wouldn't recommend any Christian practising it. With modern science, it is possible to use fusion or fission to make average elements into valuable elements. Although the power required to do that would be make it not worth it, although it is physically possible. Likely it wouldn't require a "potentially divine" source of energy, although close.
