Nice try, still missed the point, but a hydrogen nuclei is not a

Jimp, you might want to do a bit of self education.

Now you are trying to change the subject from the creation of protons to
what is the definition of a hydrogen atom.
Most people would say a hydrogen atom is a proton with an attached electron
and that absent the electron it is either a free proton or a hydrogen
ion, depending on whether the subject is particles or chemistry.
But of course, all that is irrelevant to whether or not any hydrogen has
been produced since the Big Bang.
Grasping at straws, are we?
