This is just like saying a totally demolished car is reincarnated if another just like it comes off the assembly lines.
Sorry for the double post, but I just wanted to clarify something, because a lot of you have posted something similar to this:
I had considered analogies of similar events. The difference is, that new car has completely different matter. In an infinite succession of recurrences and new occurrences the energy/matter that is in my current body will eventually be used in exactly the same way. It won't be new matter in the same function, it will be the SAME matter in the same function.
