That is one question that defies a definitive answer. Some theorists believe it has always existed (and that sidesteps the question) and others theorize that it may have been created by a race of super inter-dimensional beings and deposited here by way of a wormhole (who knows?!) But all in all, mathematics bears out the fact that it did, indeed, exist owing to the fact that universal expansion, if regressed, would wind down to a singular point (the ''singularity''). Beyond that, nothing is verifiable. But, till mankind has developed higher intellegence and accumulated enough knowledge to answer this question directly, perhaps it would serve to read the book of Genesis and interpret each of the Creator's 'Day' in terms of Billions of years.

well, hydrogen was the first basic atom in the beginning. gravity pulled the hydrogen atoms to form clouds and then condensed into balls of hydrogen gas. as the hydrogen gas condensed the atoms started moving quicker and quicker till fusion began. these were stars. then the hydrogen fused and became helium. as the stars aged they became unstable and the process slowed down and the hydrogen and helium started to fuse to become other atoms, such as neon or nitrogen. eventually these stars became so unstable that they exploded through supernovas in tremendous amounts of energy that allowed the formations of the heavier atoms. these heavier atoms spread out into clouds and the clouds condensed and the process started over and over again till we have all the atoms that we have to form planets and such.

The atoms within planets come from two different places. All the atoms heavier than helium would have been forged deep inside a heavy star. The atoms heavier than iron would have required a supernova, or colliding neutron stars, to form.

The hydrogen would have come either from a star or have been swept up from the interstellar medium. The same would be true for some of the helium. Another fraction of helium would result from the alpha particle decay of much heavier isotopes.

All of the atoms except for hydrogen and some of the helium were made in the cores of stars. All of the hydrogen and many of the helium atoms were formed during the Big Bang.

The first atom condensed out of the energy released by the big bang.
