Here is a supremely cool graphic of a periodic table which shows how every known element originated. Only two elements—hydrogen and helium–were products of the Big Bang. The remaining elements came about as the result of physical processes.

There is no mention of supernatural influence in the graphic as there is no evidence which supports crediting a supernatural entity with influencing the origin of any of the elements. The only place for God is in fantasy stories.
