If the Big Bang theory is true we now share matter with every other celestial body in the universe?

Close.the matter that we share is from stars that have been born, cooked up matter in its core for millions of years and then died in an event called a supernova.This event is what disperses compound elements into space which later coalesses into planets inside of nebulae.
after the big bang the universe was a dense cloud of hydrogen.It took the stars and the death of them to cook up that ingredient to form the other 91 naturally ocurring elements and disperse them into space via supernova to form planets like the earth which contain the other elements that have been discovered.
In this way yes, we are definantly tied to all of the cosmos.

If by share you mean are we all of the same stuff, then the answer is yes. Everything came from the same source, the big bang. If you mean are we currently trading matter with other stars, then no. There is dust in space, some areas have more than other areas, but the distances are far too great to be sending anything back and forth in a meaningful manner.

Rather than going into detail I'll be brief: It is believed that the lightest three elements formed in the wake of the Big Bang. Stars formed from these, and everyone else explained what happened quite well.
So in a way, we share matter with stars, but only as one might say that someone who eats a burger shares matter with a blade of grass.

Yes indeed we do. We receive matter from other stars every second in the form of cosmic rays, which are high energy particles that are thought to originate in stars from all over the universe. Also, our solar system sends cosmic rays outward every second in the form of the solar wind (mostly protons) as well as high energy particles eminating from Earth's Van Allen radiation belts as well as analagous particles from Jupiter and the other gas giant planets. From the study of cosmic rays, we know that the matter of the universe is essentially the same as what we on Eatrth are also made of.

That's interesting. The big bang is not possible. Everything is too perfect if you break it down.

in a way, yes. all the elements on earth come from stars. hydrogen and helium atoms get fused together and make all the elements up to iron, i believe.

Well this earth is from the universe, so don't you think the same material available on earth is also in universe? I think so.

You are a child of the universe.

You are actually made of old stars!
