You spelt "tomorrow" wrong.

Jeez this is kinda silly. Yes they can prove it...it is explained by the solar system, the earth's rotation and the mathematics involved. All you have to do is actually look some stuff up and all the proof you need is there. This is the silliest question and only makes the anti-atheist argument look petty.

Why when an atheist asks for proof they get religious babble with no real proof. Then they get "Oh yeah well prove the sun is really there" so atheist points at sun and theist then says well prove tomorrow will come, so they give all this info and it all comes down to a theist saying "doesn't mean anything without faith" seems very ignorant, bigoted and equivalent to a 3 yr old throwing a temper tantrum

How about theists provide real, actual, scientific proof that God exists. That will answer this once and for all and if you do not have this indisputable proof please stop asking silly questions

"To conclude and summarize, both you and I are agnostics. Almost everyone is an agnostic (in the modern sense of the word) since none of us have any evidence, proof, or other tangible means of giving knowledge regarding any of the various versions of god that the masses currently believe in or have believed in the past. The few people who truly believe that they can prove or disprove the existence of god(s) probably could not be classified as agnostics under this frame of thought (although even this is debatable as one person's "proof" can be pure nonsense to another and would, therefore, leave the non-agnostic status only in the eyes of the person claiming the illogical "proof"). Everyone is either a theist or an atheist. If you answer the question, "Do you believe in god?" with an affirmative, then you are a theist. If your answer is "no" or "I don't know" then you are an atheist due to your lack of an affirmative belief."

I don't understand this question and I am an atheist. Tomorrow will come and I have seen all the proof I need. Statistics prove it. Whether any of us individually will be alive tomorrow is up for grabs, but probability proves tomorrow will come. You can debate when the earth and time began, which would be our starting point for measuring the probability, but tomorrow has always come and we have no reason to expect a change. Out of all the days my lineage has existed tomorrow has never failed to arrive, otherwise none of us would be here.

Me personally I don't really think predicting the future can be done with any assurance of absolute accuracy. I would be willing to bet you substanial sums of money that there will be a tomorrow. I wouldn't think that an atheist would make that assumption. Seems to me that would be a matter of "Faith".
"we ALL believe" Did this person you claim to have said all this really use that phrase? That's a pretty huge generalisation for somebody that you claim says he or she is an atheist.
Did an atheist really say these things to you or is this just some imaginary person your talking about? And is that a statement supposedly made by that person (real or not) what you assume they would believe?
If so it seems to me you would be better off not inventing people and putting words in their mouths. Maybe it would be more useful to ask a question like oh...."What do some of you Atheist believe about........?".

The thing about atheism is that there isn't any proof required.

Can you prove the existence of God? I'm not talking about the same tired "oh look what he's created" story, have you personally met an all-knowing, all-powerful supreme deity who has named himself God and gotten a T-shirt from the experience?

Your question is valid, but it implies that there needs to be a tangible object to validate the existence of a belief. If there is concrete proof in ANY religion, then each religion's tenets would be classed as FACTS instead of FAITH.

sweetheart.....Im not an atheist, Im a Pagan and therefore dont believe in your god, however, If you can prove to me, not by some dusty old book written by MAN many hundreds of years ago that your god exists then I will be happy to listen. I was chatting to a christian last week who believes that the dinosaur bones that people have found all over the world were put their by the 'devil,, as his church teaches that the world is only 10,000 years old..sadly when you have people that dismiss science as he and his curch group do but reap the benefits of what science does for them every day of their lives is some what smacks of double standards

We do not have 'faith' that tomorrow will come - we base it on empirical evidence - i.e it came today, and the day before and so on... in fact in some parts of the world it will be tomorrow before it is tomorrow here - so there you have 'proof' it may not be irrefutable but it is more than can be offered the other way around.

There is no 'proof' that a 'creator' exists - and frankly there doesn't to be for the millions of followers of religion the world over - but if you want to persuade others of your point of view and argue the case for one then you need to have some evidence for his/her/it's existence.

Can you prove the atheist wrong, beyond saying that you believe, and the impact that believing has made on your life? Any substantial proof?

And no, i'm not an atheist, just someone who sees both sides of the picture.

There will always be a tomorrow if you give your life to God. Now, as far an atheist goes, I don't know. I honestly don't know that much about atheism's views and beliefs, but I don't think an atheist can prove anything one way or another.

How long did it take you to come up with this one?? Why do you feel you have to prove something? If the Athiests don't believe, how exactly does this affect you?? why not try this.....let people choose their own spiritual path without pushing your ideals on them! Youre entitled to your beliefs so let the athiests have theirs...Then you wont have to spend so much time worrying about such foolishness!
