Most atheists will never accept 6day creationism, not even if we could find proof of it somehow. Like a creationist will never accept evolutionism, not even if we would find proof of it somehow. The reason is that it's not a simple scientific opinion we have, but it is because our view and our way of life depends on it.

Of course it's not as black/white as I depict it above, but it's not far from it either.

ITYM

creationist will never accept evolutionism, even though it has already passed every test we've ever thrown at it and is as well tested and proven as any other mainstream scientific theory

There is a great comic, it might be an XKCD (I couldn't find it on google, maybe some one else could help)

Physicist is watching a biologist on TV saying "We understand Evolution as much as we understand Gravity"

And the Physicist is flabbergasted - "Is he saying we don't understand Evolution?!"

The main problem with this discussion is that people don't understand what is meant by a scientific theory and what is meant by proof.

We already have enough evidence that literal 6 day creationism can't be true. We don't know everything, but we have conclusively proven that that model doesn't reflect the universe we observe.
