Since we know today is Saturday and that the statement is true, then by the law of detachment, we conclude that tomorrow is Sunday.

The law of detachment states "p" implies "q". and that equals "not -q" implies "not -p"
P= today is Saturday,
Q= tomorrow is Sunday
Therefore, a valid conclusion can be...
Tomorrow is Sunday if today is Saturday
or
If tomorrow is not Sunday, then today is not Saturday
Hope that helps!

"If today is Saturday, then tomorrow is Sunday" is a conditional. You can affirm the antecedent (If today is Saturday) and/or deny the consequent (then tomorrow is Sunday). Both of these are logically valid.

Let p = Today is Saturday
q = Tomorrow is Sunday
Then p implies q = If today is Saturday, then tomorrow is Sunday
If p is true and p implies q is always true,
then we conclude q is always true.
In other words we conclude: Tomorrow is Sunday

That the know value or varible is followed by another know varible or value.
The number 1 is followed by the number 2.

Late at night, when the moon is at it's highest point, I strip naked, paint ancient Indian warrior markings all over my body, and eat pudding in graveyards while listening to motivational CDs...

add this variable to the equation -
tomorrow isn't today until we went to sleep last night!
