If you believe that our bodies will be at some point resurrected then:
If a true believer dies and get buried, his flesh decays and gets absorbed into the environment, where it gets incorporated into new living things.
If these living things are then eaten by another true believer who then dies, then the atoms that made up the first true believer are now in the second, or many other true believers.
Over time these atoms are going to be 'shared' multiple times, where most of the body of the first true believers will have been used over and over.
Now, when the resurrection comes and their bodies are made whole again, who gets what of the parts that were recycled?
Somebody is going to be not all there.

Spirituality is of the Spirit. Our molecular bodies are just what u said atoms and molecules. Once into the environment, they are meant to be recycled and that is why as you rightly said bodily resurrection is not possible.
But what might be possible is our spirit reaching the original state of divinity.
What might be possible is resurrection of lost innocence.
Resurrection of love and faith.
I believe resurrection has to happen when one is still in the body and not when the body has become worm fodder.
Christ-hood is a state of the spirit and all of us being God's children have equal opportunity to achieve that state one we can achieve that state of love, tolerance, forgiveness and supreme sacrifice, we are saved. We become resurrected beings of LIGHT

Read Book of Revelations, Book of Acts, Book of Wisdom. We will have new physical bodies, we will not have the exact bodies that we had when we died. If we were 88 yrs old when we died, all wrinkly and grey hair, and weak bones, we will not have that same body. Jesus will raise the dead but we will have different bodies, the righteous with have glorified bodies. Do some reading if you truly want to know God's plan. NAB

We're not going to have the same bodies. They're not going to be flesh and blood. But more like light. We'll look the same, but we'll have a new glow. And I'd rather not think about who's atoms I ate for dinner. It's kinda gross.

Christ suggests in the gospels that our resurrected bodies will be like the bodies of angels rather than bodies of flesh. My own personal theory is that they will not be material bodies at all.

It'll be fun to watch. I'm thinking if God can do one supernatural thing, He can do the next. You swallow "the camel" of ressurection, then strain at "the gnat" of rebuilt bodies.

We will be getting new bodies when we get to heaven. Our bodies go back into the earth from where is once came.
The rest of your question I won't even bother with.
God bless you.

God created you in the first place--he can recreate you exactly with all new materials and without sin--why worry about elemental things??
