Time.

But the problem with that is that you can't prove it's not just an endless loop of the same says and same nights over and over again. Essentially all you can do is prove that the earth went around the sun one more time, not that it has been doing so for ever and ever.

Don't be obtuse.

We can observe phenomena and record data to come to the conclusion that we're not just repeating days. I think you're making an unfounded claim, or just trying to ruffle feathers.

By the way, time is a system of measurement with the purpose of durations of events and their subsequent lapses. It's hard to put a definitive phrase that accurately describes it in all situations, but it can be observed, measured, and described within certain scientific contexts.

God is not time, nor is that even relevant in this argument. It's not belief in something with a lack of evidence or observable evidence, so let's leave that analogy at the door.
