Newton's laws are pretty good evidence for why we think the Earth will continue to rotate.That is begging the question. Newton's Laws were derived from obervation. They have no absolute bearing on future events. The nature of Newton's Laws is that they are based on inductive reasoning not on deductive reasoning. This problem is known as the Problem of Induction and since David Hume its fundamental nature has been pointed out clearly.
