The quark mass dependences of light-element binding energies and nuclear scattering lengths are derived using chiral perturbation theory in combination with nonperturbative methods. In particular, we present new, improved values for the quark mass dependence of meson resonances that enter the nuclear force. A detailed analysis of the theoretical uncertainties arising in this determination is presented. As an application, we derive from a comparison of observed and calculated primordial deuterium and helium abundances a stringent limit on the variation of the light quark mass, delta m(q)/m(q) = 0.02 +/- 0.04. Inclusion of the neutron lifetime modification, under the assumption of a variation of the Higgs vacuum expectation value that translates into changing quark, electron, and weak gauge boson masses, leads to a stronger limit, \delta m(q)/m(q)\ < 0.009.
