That's a faulty premise: you assume you know enough about atomic billiard balls to conclude that the interaction of billions of them is not sufficient to define, describe and quantify the person that you think you are. The lack of sufficient knowledge is not sound basis for the rejection or acceptance of an idea. Just because the Sun moves through the sky doesn't mean it orbits the Earth
