I've kind ask this before,but I'll ask again.
Do you believe there are real things beyond(not just in this world we live in) tangible,testable proof of science.Things that exist,but cant be tested by science in anyway?

I believe there are things that cannot be tested with current technology.

There are many things beyond this world where we live, that due to limitations of space and time are not feasible to currently test. But each year we gain further knowledge, and expand our horizons. The new probes to Jupiter and Saturn have made amazing new discoveries the in earlier years were only speculations. The scientific world is an ever increasing wealth of knowledge and wisdom.

There are things that cannot, at this time and with our present technology, be tested to provide proof. That does not mean that because it is not possible now it will never be possible. Science is always a work in progress. 150 years ago, there were many things in science that could not be tested, but with advances in thinking and learning, now they can. But I think what you are really talking about is god. Or you wouldn't have asked this to only atheists.

I think the only thing that would fall within that definition in my way of thinking is emotion.
You can't really quantify or isolate or test an emotion like love or hate or despair, yet we act in accordance with those emotions -- often to the bewilderment of those around us.
However, those emotions are resultant from brain activity, and that *is* testable and measurable.
Sometimes that which we think is mysterious just hasn't been scientifically explained *yet*.

That'd by definition unknowable. Look, suppose there are other multiverses, but they in absolutely in no way effect our universe or multiverse. How would we know if they exist?
Weird things like quantum physics point to parallel universes, but we still get information from them -- even if it's only in the form of a weird equation that balances out some laws of physics. That's still evidence.
But, if you're talking about something completely outside the realm of what's knowable, then by definition it doesn't even really exist...

First: It's spelled ATHEIST. (Little pet peeve of mine.)
Second, and to answer your question: No.
If a thing exists, then it must leave some evidence of its existence. (A shadow. Footprints. Fossils. Decaying sub-atomic particles. SOMEthing.) And sooner or later, someone will find that evidence.
If it doesn't exist, then no amount of searching will do any good.
This universe is what we have. Appreciate it while you're in it -- because you won't get another chance.

I'm not exactly an Atheist, but I'm close enough. I believe that there are things that aren't testable with current technology, however as we advance things will be made aware to us.

There are things that are not testable in practice, but not in principle. In theory anything that exists can be understood - to a scientist something that is not yet understood only means we need to improve our theories and models of the world to gain greater understanding.
I believe with science man has the potential to understand everything that exists.

I'm agnostic, but I'm answering anyway.
I believe that there are things beyond our planet and solar system that we would not be able to comprehend and understand, let alone test with our current scientific and technological abilities. Don't think that makes it a higher power or a god though. Simply more advance than we can grasp.

If it can't be tested by science it's usually of limited interest to me. I do believe in the survival of consciousness but it is only a belief based on anecdotal rather than scientific evidence.

Everything within our reach is testable by science... The only things that can't be tested by science, are the things that are beyond our reach. However, someday the things out of our reach will be within our reach, so I say that everything is testable by science eventually.
