and other organs from the individual atoms we are made of???

It would take far too long. A 150 lb person has about
7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
atoms in their body.
There are 86,400 seconds in a day:

If you could move (and join properly... lots of very specific joinings) every single atom at a rate of one per second, it would take you a billion
times longer than the universe has been in existance (14 billion years or so) to make a single human being.
