For the most part, they aren't. Elements (atoms) are formed in the cores of stars, or in supernova explosions.
There are some exceptions. We've manufactured a lot of plutonium -- a lot more than we need, in fact. But 99.999+% of the atoms on earth were formed in either (A) the Big Bang (the hydrogen in the oceans, some helium), (B) stars' cores, or (C) supernovae.

The elements were formed in stellar explosions. The only new elements we get here are because of nuclear decay.
