Did anyone click the question with the goal of posting "No"? What stopped you?
-sorry I was just testing to see if people consider their responses before posting in this category. To my delight it appears that we do. =)
Can we then answer the other questions in the category the same way?

"Shine" is an adjective. Shine must be viewed.
While, logically, one would say the sun is shining at night, though at the other end of the world, for half of the world, it is not shining at all.
The answer is yes and no.

Yes. Even at the darkest time of night, the sunlight 'echoing' around the atmosphere still provides an ever so dim level of minimum illumination.
Plus you have to consider locational fact. It may be the fact, "I cannot see the sun shining here," but it is just as much fact, "Above the atmosphere at such a position where nothing obstructs the view of the sun significantly, the sun is at all times shining."

The sun shall shine for as long as there is a nuclear reaction within it, and after that until it cools enough to stop emitting photons. There is no day or night to the sun; that's a perception we have on earth due to the revolving of the planet.

did you recognize that the solar truly shines 24 hours an afternoon, seven days a week? evening occurs because the Earth turns you remote from the solar, so that you won't be able to see it. We call that "evening". Then, because it turns you decrease back in the direction of the solar, you'll discover it back, and we call that "day".

O.K. what's the punchline? Yes the sun shines always, it's just the earth's spinning that stops us from seeing it and makes night possible. But as an atheist, science is something I embrace.

Where did you go to school? Everybody knows that the moon is the back side of the Sun. When you see the moon during the day, you are actually seeing a double reflection of the back side of the Sun (the Moon) which is reflected off the interior surface of the "Firmament" (Where God keeps the water he used for Noah's flood) it is then re-reflected to the opposite interior side of the Firmament where it appears normal in the sky. I hope this explains it for you.

Night or Day, Sun Shines. Even at your darkest moments in life.

Your next step will be to explain how God exists even if you can't see him, like the sun exists even when you can't see it.
About the sun thing, call an Australian friend at midnight and ask him. If you live on that side of the planet, call an American.
Unless you have a similar experiment that proves that God exists, don't embarrass yourself by continuing your current train of thought.

Think I know what you're getting at... And yes, obviously it does it's just not on your side of the world then. But that is not the same for God.
