Too late. The Indians have been toying with that idea for 4000 years. The Native Americans and the Abos of Australia for at least 5 times that long. Welcome to dream time. Please carry you personal items in a willow bark roll.

Well, what you're experiencing shows that humans do have some part of God in them, but cannot comprehend it all. But we're certainly a step above the animals, who, for all their skills and acceptance (too popularly preached these days!) never worry about the future or concepts like this. It's a gift we have, this wondering.
Think about this: inside each of your cells is DNA. from one strand of DNA from any cell -- skin, bone, hair -- we can make a whole new you. But if you were to have an interview with one of your, say, skin cells -- it could tell you much about how it works and even it's purpose. But no one cell could tell you about another distant part of your body, or describe it completely. Still, deep inside each individual cell is the absolute knowledge of everything that is the whole "you".
I think that just as the atoms imitate the planets, in a way our relationship with God is something like the cell to the body. Nature is made this way: the macrocosm echoes the microcosm. It even seems likely that the whole universe expands and then contracts: breathing. God may look at us and see not flesh and bone, but stars instead -- or who knows?
So, while breathtaking in it's compexity, the Universe and even God himself which is all things at once and beyond time and its evolution is perhaps not to be feared, but recognized -- incredible as it sounds, as an extension of all of us who are a part of Him (or Her).
In the end, I guess as your question suggests, a person might ask themselves if, considering that we're all "part of everything" then why not just go ahead and die as that's what seems inevitable. Well, to go back to the book, or The Book, if you prefer, in asking this question you are putting yourself once again in pretty darn good company. Lots of great men, saints even have asked the same thing. For me, the best response was, according to the story, the one given by God to Moses:
"Each day I will give you the choice between Life and Death. Because I have given you this gift, therefore choose Life."

About the recycling idea: conservation of energy. There is never a universal net loss of energy. There aren't really "things" because their identity is not permanent. For example, the wood of a desk was part of a tree, the molecules of that tree were part of the earth before that, etc. until it is traced back to the dense conglomeration of matter of the early universe
