al-Jathiya 24 "And they say, "There is not but our worldly life; we die and live, and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming.".
The Arabian pagans had no concept of an afterlife and were mostly materialists. Skepticism was already abundant in Makkah before Atheism became fashionable, al-Maari is such an example of the aftermath.
What I find funny is how this ayat sets up the stupidity of Muslims. It professes that those who do not believe have no knowledge or proof that they don't live on. This is an example where a negative is presumed to be a positive in argumentation. This pretty much set sup the hypocrisy of Muhammad and his disdain towards a naturalistic viewpoint of life
