The statement is to question 'I' as an entity of existence, we use it in our language to communicate. But doesnt exist for it changes .
Words are necesarrily limited in conveying concepts.
A tree is not a 'tree', doesn't change that we call it that though or that it exists.
So, you agree the limitations of the conventional words we use. So we go down to details and conventional meanings change.

Regardless of whether you're a different you than 5 minutes ago.
wrong, 'I' changes and hence is not the same. 'You' changes too and hence is not the same. I and you are one as in we are parts of the universe.I never said I and you are equal,your use of equality sign is therefore wrong.

Even if our atoms become part of other configurations, they will never be a merging of a 100% of our atoms.
Was only quoting Einstein " A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish it but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind."
This is a flawed appeal to authority.
Einstein is saying we are not seperate from the universe, not that we are all one.
Wrong understanding. Einstein is saying that the sense of who we are is an optical illusion. Comes from his understanding of General Relativity, he was alluding to its parmenides like conclusion. There is only continuity. Go to quantum mechanics, and there is still time. In quantum mechanics time 't' tells the evolution of wave function. There is no free will according to the most successful physical theories of universe. So yes, the conclusion of physics is 'I' changes and we are all one as we are only parts of the common universe.The ordinary sense of locality is wrong because there is no free will, who we are necessarily is caused by all that preceded us The problem is your assumption of "prophetical powers". Your misunderstanding that I was claiming that "I" and "you" are equal, something which I never claimed.
Now it is on you to show how exactly do you remain you in absence of your memories. Will there be any change, if there is then it is not exactly you. You start making assumptions and start arguing without asking what I meant!.
