I am curious to know how atheists reconcile the fact that scientist have cloned a human's physical body but that's the end of it. It is not alive, it will never be alive. Why? If evolution is a FACT as so many claim then why can't it evolve into a human? I just don't understand how you explain emotions and common sense? How did they "evolve"? What are they? Ok so physical matter all originated from a single celled organism right? So where did emotion and common sense come from because it's definately not physical?
Opinions??
Spirit(to me)=
Intangibles
"The Breadth of Life"
Essence
The Mystical
The Magnanomous
First Cause
Collective Consciousness.
etc., etc...
All of which I associate with GOD...

When did we clone a human? Emotion and Common Sense are chemical/electrical processes in the brain.
I don't get what your going on about...I too was unaware that a human being had been cloned but the body is not alive???
I have seen and read about animals from sheep to a common house cat, both alive...
I'm curious, do you disbelieve ALL evolution or just macro evolution? LIKE did you think that when Noah went on the ark he took two poodles with him, two great danes with him and so forth??
If not and you beleive that over time the different kinds of animals developed even you believe in micro evolution...

Technically, evolution is a theory. This is an important tenet of science.
Also, I think you may be confused on what "evolution" really is, as evidenced by your questioning of how claimed cloned body is not "evolved" to be alive. (I echo others' calls for elaboration on this point, as I am unaware of any non-alive cloned bodies lying around.)
I fail to see how mentioning that evolution maintains single-celled organisms as the Ur-form strengthens your argument. Cats, dogs, giraffes, and sloths are multicellular, but do not have the same complex level of emotion and common sense as humanity.
But from their own perspectives, they do, and that's where your argument runs afoul. Both common sense and emotion, rather than somehow supplanting a theory of evolutionary forces, strengthen that theory if explained correctly and ruminated on. We've all seen a cat catch a bird, or a dog eat grass in order to become sick. Why do they do this? For them, it's common sense. We have our own common sense, as well. At a more basic level (think hunter-gatherer) common sense is necessary for survival.
Many other animals have emotion, as well. When I was gone for week-long periods, my cat grew forlorn and paid extra attention to me while I was gone. This despite her having ample supply of food and water. Many dogs are consistently happy. I admit that I don't know what the evolutionary advantage of this is, but it's bound to be very complex. Arguments could be posited through survival/banding together/teamwork and also from a chemical standpoint ("happiness" can release certain chemicals, etc.).
I am curious to know how atheists reconcile the fact that scientist have cloned a human's physical body but that's the end of it.
As with other posters, I have never heard of this happening. Can you provide proof? It seems not to exist in any of the standard news sources.

Evolution does not happen to individuals. You, and I, and anybody reading this will not evolve. We cannot. We are geneticaly fixed in place as we were on the day that we were born. Evolution happens to species. Collectively, all of our children, as they reproduce over many, many generations to follow, will evolve.

Sure they are physical. They are the results of electrochemical reactions in the brain. Read up on it. If you stimulate certain areas of the brain with electricity, you can cause a person to feel happy, or sad, or afraid.
Again, I don't know what this cloned non-alive human is that you refer to. I don't see why a cloned human would be any less alive than a cloned sheep or cat though.
And as for the evolution aspect - individuals don't evolve, populations do.

Please forgive me I think I was mistaken. I thought that but I can't find any proof. I should have researched it before making that claim. Forgive my ignorance. (Do they have one of these emoticons in bright red? )

I'm not very familiar with evolution I guess but I believe that evolution and creationism can cooexist.

Wow, Heavy and Complex subject...
