Unfortunately the atheist will have to stand up and go

No.

That's not science that's fantasy.

Heisenberg uncertainty principle and all that.

Maybe one day they could clone a brain from a single cell - but that wouldn't retain any of the memories or experiences of the original. It wouldn't be you any more than a twin is.

Might they one day find a way to back-up memories and experiences to restore them later to another brain - biological or machine? Dunno - maybe.

Does that get us any closer to heaven/god etc?

Before you use words like God or Heaven and Hell etc you should 1'st of all settle down a little question of whether an afterlife exists or not. heh?

Well the order of proofs are very much up to you, the believer. To date I haven't seen any convincing evidence of any of them.

I have to add that some of your comebacks read rather like they should have been coming from me rather than you.

I'd add further that its not so much of settling a little question of whether an afterlife exists or not as more to providing any evidence that the default position, it doesn't, is wrong.

In other words its not really a debate unless you have something new to bring to the table. This would be the same for reincarnation, Hades, Valhalla and so on and so forth - all things I guess you don't give too much time to disproving.
