Answer 2

Atoms were first invented in the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, when the rest of the universe was "invented," they have been around ever since.

The IDEA of Atoms is an Ancient Greek invention.

According to Wikipedia:
"In chemistry and physics, an atom (Greek ἄτομος or átomos meaning "indivisible") is the smallest particle still characterizing a chemical element.

The idea that matter is composed of discrete units and can not be divided into any arbitrarily tiny or small quantities has been around for thousands of years. The earliest references to the concept of atoms date back to ancient India in the 6th century BCE. The Nyaya and Vaisheshika schools developed elaborate theories of how atoms combined into more complex objects (first in pairs, then trios of pairs). The references to atoms in West, emerge a century later by Leucippus whose student, Democritus, systemized his views. In around 450 BCE, Democritus coined the term atomos, which meant "uncuttable". Though both the Indian and Greek concepts of the atom were based purely on philosophy, modern science has retained the name coined by Democritus."

We lost that knowledge in the Dark Ages; hence the name Dark; during that period science was forbidden and the church has resisted its advance ever since. We did not re-discover it until (same source): "In 1803, John Dalton used the concept of atoms to explain why elements always reacted in simple proportions, and why certain gases dissolved better in water than others. He proposed that each element consists of atoms of a single, unique type, and that these atoms could join to each other, to form compound chemicals."
