Yes atoms go on to be parts of other things but I warn never to leave rightful statements like this because woo lovers, new agers and reincarnation lovers jump all over this thinking cognition survives us. NOPE it does not.
The important thing to know about evolution and science, there is not one single atom in a living human that is an adult or old that was in them when the sperm met the egg. We are constantly taking in atoms and expelling atoms our entire lives from birth to death.
I agree our atoms move on, but they do not retain what was us collectively anymore than a wheel can be the collective car after it gets totaled in a crash.
