Can We Be Certain That The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow?

We are usually more than confident that “the sun will rise tomorrow” and usually do not even pause to think about this not happening. But are we justified to have this kind of belief? The belief mainly stems from past experiences; that we have always seen it rise and there is, therefore, no doubt that it will continue doing so. This is known as a belief in the laws of nature. It suggests that if a number of events or cases have been fulfilled in the past, the future will not be any different. If an event is associated with the occurrence of another, then if the first event has occurred, the other will also occur. But must it be always so? Are we justified to believe that the sun will rise tomorrow?
I believe that the sun will always rise, but before giving my reasons, it is good to look at why there is an argument about this in the first case. The argument against the conclusion can be outlined in Hume’s words that: “There can be no demonstrative arguments to prove that those instances, of which we have had no experience, resemble those of which we have had experience, we can at least a change in the course of nature, which sufficiently proves, that such a change is not absolutely impossible.” (Hume, 1911). The argument is that what we may have experienced in the past may not be related to what is to happen in the future. It might have resulted from an error in observation in the first case. For example, if I have always seen white butterflies, I may be tempted to conclude that all butterflies are white which is wrong.

It may be that white butterflies prefer my area and others do not or that I always walk in the road when other butterflies are resting in specific areas. I (t may also be that something happened to the other butterflies that made them migrate from my area to other suitable areas. We can’t also tell the right number of instances required to conclude. For example, if I ate a certain type of food, say rice four times and fell ill, is it right to say that I will fall sick the next time I eat rice or should I take it three more times to conclude?
Why then do I believe that the sun will always rise? There is no way to prove that the incidence will not happen in the first place. While arriving at the conclusion, we use induction. We observe a series of events and come to the conclusion that an event will always happen because we assume that nature will always be uniform. Why would the sun not come up tomorrow when it has done so in the past thousands of years? Our induction in this matter is always supported by physics. We know that the earth spins to face the sun or away from it which makes us see the sun. There would be no doubt then that we will see the sun the next day. We also believe that when we drop something, it will not go upwards but will rather fall to the ground. There would be no way to question the argument as it is based on induction. We would have to use induction to question it which is not even possible.
