FYI from what I know the big bang didn't create atoms (at least higher up on the atomic numbers). Atoms are created in suns as the subatomic particles ooze around, and then spread into space when the sun explodes. Afaik, or what was thought, will read article later.

In suns only up to iron, everything else from more special stuff. Like neutron stars merging.
