Technically everything that you are anatomically made up of was here before you and will be here after you. Since matter can neither be created or destroyed.

Your parents didn't create you! Everything that made you was in them when they were born.

Matter can be changed but you cannot make it disappear or magically appear from nothing. ( energy is something )

My molecules have always existed... they will go back into the great cycle of matter that exists in this universe when my body dies.

Are you asking this question to be funny or are you really that confused?
The matter that humans are made of could quite possibly have always existed. This does not mean that the person has always existed since the person is the result of matter having come together in it's current configuration.
Using the word "created" to describe the origin of any non-artifact is a presupposition. To assume something is a creation you must first have a precedent or evidence for a creator. Human beings are born, not created. Creation implies a willful and planned combination of parts. This is not the correct term to describe the origins of any living thing.

Atheists were born from their mothers, just like you and me.
Matter CAN be destroyed -- a particle can be converted to energy through collision with an equal antiparticle.
But anyway. Matter was apparently made in the Big Bang. The heavier elements were subsequently made through nuclear fusion, and spread around through hypernovae and supernovas.

Technically that is correct. All of the matter, every quark in every atom in my body was here before me and will be here after me. I am a composite of the matter in my body and as such I have not always existed but the matter has existed since at least the Big Bang.

Ok, but I WAS created by my parents--the joining of a sperm and an egg. Whatever molecules that were used to create me were not CONSCIOUS until they made up a human being...so maybe my atoms and molecules always existed, but I didn't.
And as a matter of fact matter can be destroyed. It can be turned into energy.

Indeed. And I shall always be here in the future. Of course, some bits of me will be in grass, and some in cows and sheep, and maybe even some bits will get washed in to sediment which will become rock.
Just the same as you and everybody else. Don't you find that far more comforting than this rather silly image of "heaven"?

Everything that makes us up always existed in some form or another. The food we eat becomes part of us as does the air we breathe. Our cells die and are replaced quite frequently. The material has to come from somewhere and that somewhere is our environment and when we die we will return to that environment and become food for something else to maintain itself.

A lot of Athiest support the Big Bang theory.

Matter can neither be created or destroyed? Who told you that?
Your physics is sorely out of date.

Matter can be created and destroyed... check any physics book beyond the high school school level.
