A small point where science and creation myths are in agreement:
"For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

Speaking of recycables, I was watching How The Earth Was Formed, the episode
about gold, and they mentioned how gold has been recycled and traded around
the globe for centuries. They said your wedding band may contain molecules
of ancient Egyptian or Peruvian gold that has been melted down and traded.

Heck, look at your fingers
(and the rest of yourself too).
THAT'S nothing but reworked
stellar dust and ash and a
pinch of supernova powder...
