And why not? After all, the Church finally decided cremation is OK because an omnipotent being would certainly be able to put all the pieces back together on Judgment Day.
No, @pshearer, the Church never thought that God could not “put all the pieces together”. It’s just that cremation is no longer used as a statement of disbelief in the resurrection of the body, so there is no longer a need for a law to forbid it.

Ruthie is probably familiar with the Book of Common Prayer:
“Almighty God…you know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion on our weakness…” — Proper 11

Good theology, Ruthie! Romans 8:26, 27.
