He will simply create them. It is not likely atoms from one person will go into another based on facts of biology.
Only Adam was created directly by dirt.
God knows where all of the atoms are and when HE calls them they will come to where they are to be. facts are not the truth it is lower form, man's understanding and God's ability have never seen eye to eye.

The six days relative to the creation of the current cosmos were all bounded by an
evening and a morning. The seventh day has no bounds; which tells me that God is still
on sabbatical and has created nothing new for the current cosmos-- neither life, nor
matter, nor energy -- since the end of the sixth day.

In other words: God can't use newly-created atoms to resurrect human bodies that were
constructed with materials created for the current cosmos without first terminating His
seventh-day sabbatical and picking up where He left off with the sixth.

As has been said already in post No.62, individual atoms-- e.g. carbon atoms --are not
unique; they're all identical and they're all interchangeable. This current cosmos has
such an abundance of atoms that God need not create any new ones in order to have
enough to reconstruct people's bodies.

the problem with this theology is it starts with one saying " God can't".

all else is irrelevant.

Idk why people are worried about their atoms. The atoms in your body are being replaced constantly. Imagine that- you are made new IN THE FLESH on a regular basis- how much more will your spiritual body be a new creation. It might not even be MADE of atoms!

For the person who disagreed with me, the atoms are in the grave.

Animal eats human
Animal digests and poops
poop in unlikely to be used to grow food
food eaten by human is digested
human poops
very few atoms may make it into human

Although as said, we all turn to dust eventually, this question may not be as cut and dry as it seems.

First, there is no account of cremation mentioned in Scripture, or at least nowhere in a positive light.

Also, it’s interesting that the Hebrews brought the body of Joseph from Egypt to the promised land.

And Michael actually fought Satan over Moses’ body.

So I’d prefer not to be cremated. But I do think all will be resurrected regardless of manner of death.
