Since the material existence lacks the will and knowledge for planning for the future; the future can only be attributed to the conscious living creator of the universe. Therefore, belief in the creator of the universe is the only possible basis for belief in the future. This means that the atheist claim of disbelief in the creator of the universe cannot be true.

Answer:

Playing around with the word "believe" does nothing to prove anything in this question. Most people accept that the present moment is contiguous to a past moment and a future moment, no belief in a deity is required for this view of continuity of existence. it should be pointed out that there is no "standard" atheist. The only common position they have is the that there is no deity or deities. A common or agreed on atheist position on the future is not available.

Answer:

To some degree there does seem to be evidence for the future. We know from experience that we have each had a past and that our past has moved into the present. We also know that our current present was simply the future of the past. Considering we witness this process of the evolution of time constantly it is easy to believe that there will be a future. Weather we are in it or not we will never know though.

We also know that the universe does have a beginning i.e., it was non-existent before coming into existence. Therefore, instead of future, there also could be non-existence. Besides, the human life can end at any moment without prior warning or notice.

Anyway, predictability of the sequence of events means that the universe is an organized and planned event. Therefore, the evidence for the future is basically the evidence for the creator of the universe.

Atheists generally do not believe in creationism as it involves the idea of a supernatural deity creating the universe and life. Most atheists adhere to scientific explanations like evolution for the origins of life and the universe.

Atheists say there is no evidence for 'God' - what kind of evidence would persuade them otherwise?

Not all atheists say "there is no evidence for God". Bertrand Russell said there was "not enough evidence". Atheists don't have a doctrine of belief so not all atheists give the same reasons for not believing in a personal God - in fact many would be puzzled by phrasing the question that way. However, there are a couple of questions that atheists often consider: 1) "What would a universe with an all-powerful God running things look like?" The answer to this, of course, is rather difficult to tie down. But you might argue that in such a universe very odd things would happen; there would be no scientific laws, no causality - things would just "happen" unpredictably. It could be argued that in very early history, that's how the world did indeed appear - and it has been suggested that early religions were attempts to talk to the weather or to make sense of visions seen when taking hallucinegenic drugs. 2) "If God is all-powerful and, by most accounts, keen that people believe he exists, why not simply make everyone believe in him?" In the Judeo/Christian Bible, it's made fairly plain that God wants people to believe in Him and that he likes people to be good, so as an all-powerful God, why not make that happen? Why doesn't everyone believe in God and always do good things? If everyone started doing that, then that would be strong evidence for atheists to change their minds. But, of course, if that had happened, there wouldn't be any atheists.
