Define "god." Leaving that aside, no, there were no atoms. When the universe blossomed into being and unfurled into the four dimensions we describe as up, down, sideways, and time, it was quite a while before atoms even formed, maybe about 350,000 Earth years. Before that there were subatomic particles, such as quarks, photons, and messenger particles called bosons. "Messenger particles" are what dictate how matter should react with itself. For example, the messenger particle for the electromagnetic force (light) is called the photon. For the strong nuclear force, it is the gluon. For the weak nuclear force, it is the w and z bosons. For the gravitational force, it is the theoretical "graviton." That's it. Four forces in the universe. As for "what was around before the universe started?" Google "scalar field."

Everything that had a beginning will have an ending. If, at one time there was nothing, then only God could have made something from it. The latest theory that the universe was produced by the big bang from a golf ball sized something (where did that come from?) into a full fledged universe in a "trillion trillionths of a second" only serves as further proof that "In the beginning, God..., etc."

The big bang theory says everything evolved over time, that is, several trillions and zillions of years ago. Even that, is a theory.
It is like something that starts for no reason. Take today's example - what existed before several diseases that we know of today? What was it before the virus that causes AIDS, HIV etc...?
One theory is single cell ameoba started life. It is really interesting to think of what would it have been before the Sun, the Earth and all these Stars in the sky. No one has a definitive answer.
Scientists around the world are still searching for an provable, verifiable answer. The debate is still raging in many circles.

Nothing. A commonly believed theory implies that a 'Big Bang' had created the Universe. There was no maker of atoms. No one made God, God is the one that made everything.

The theory goes that there was no before the universe, since time started at the big bang.

BigBang postulates therewereno existence of Time as we know".Before Started" carries no meaning And invalid. Enviornment created atoms. Self and GOD co-exists.

The is no such thing as before the big bang, and if there was, there is no way of knwing, since the big bang erased everything. But probably there was no time, no space and no matter.

There are some theories that speculate about what happened "before" the big bang. M-theory is one such possibility.

Same as "From infinitely small to infinitely big". There was something before every "before" and will always be an after every "after".
Impossible to answer.

There was nothing. Only God existed.
