I mean technically there isn't a finite number of atoms because there isn't a finite number of anything because everything is part of the same energy field with varied energy states caught in self reinforcing patterns and when you "split" an atom you simply break the pattern allowing rapid entropy to a stable state.

Tldr: the solution to this paradox is that it is impossible to split anything in half, you can only rearrange it.
