When I watch the universe around me, I see differences between living things (say human beings for instance) and non living things (robots, cars, planets, etc.). An example of those differences is: feeling. We can't make a robot feel some pain, right? Then how do unblievers explain that? Why can't we make a non-living thing FEEL pain? What's the special thing about human beings (and other living creatures) that make them "feel"?
Another example is death. How do unbeliever explain that when a living creature dies it can never be brought back to life. While no matter how much a car or a robot was crashed, it can always be brought back to its initial state with the right tools and resources.

We know the composition of our the nervous system right? Why can't we make one for robots?

Unbelieving scientists here haven't explained either feeling or death right. Feelings are part of a conscious living thing because they were put there (by God or evolution) to signal something was wrong (pain) or right (joy) etc. Death is absolutely necessary for there to be life. If there were no death and life was otherwise the same (with reproduction for example) there would soon be wall to wall plants and animals (including people) and all life would be impossible.
A feeling is something and consciousness is something; what are they made of (not anything material as we understand it)? Unbelieving scientists explain consciousness (and thus feelings) as an "emergent property" of the brain. But this property (something) is very complex. and it (a conscious thought) can cause a physical action (Think of how the thought of a naked pretty girl causes your penis to tumesce and become erect). Unbelieving scientists can not yet explain this and believers feel no need to.
I doubt, as it has been asserted in answers here, that any time soon will it be possible to revitalize a dead body.
Good luck, good health, peace and love!

Unbelievers, like myself, know the "thing" that causes feeling is called the nervous system. The reason when a living creature dies it can't come back is everything in the body stops working. Brain cells die so the brain can't be brought back and the brain controls the body.

Do you really understand the meaning of pain? It is nothing more than a signal of damage, and its function is to make us remove the source of the damage(take our hand away from the fire, etc).
About death, yes you can bring a person "back", you just need a way to reconstruct, the body and reposition the neurons in the pattern that existed before death.

Silly believer! You're not supposed to ask questions that might require an actual response! The "good questions" are the ones they can dismiss with their stock answers like "circular logic!" I think it's a good question that does raise philosophical questions about the nature of life and spirit and soul. These are things that difficult to ask about and get reasonable responses in this forum. (Sorry if I seem cranky, it's past my bedtime:p)

You're digging into philosophical questions in terms of what feelings are that no one has answers for. Not atheists, not theists. Lets just turn around and have a nice lunch.

That's why people go to school. And you haven't, I bet.
All that stuff is explained two centuries ago. Just read some textbooks.
You want us to write, Biology, Astronomy, Zoology, Medical science, Physics and all that stuff right here?

Humans have a nervous system,robots don't

Maybe if you thought about your question first, and made it at least semi-coherent, people would be able to answer it better?
If you're talking about the difference between organic and inorganic, the science can answer all of your questions.

so? basically his kinfolk (heirs, supplies) has been bickering over a thank you to handle his legacy for 40 years and the only miracle right it fairly is they finally have been given their act jointly in any respect.
