He provided a proof with his data. Since there are highly detailed records from not so long ago by authentic agencies of science, this data should be sufficient enough to convince you -- but if you are still skeptical, you will have to find a scientist to show you the element. If you are skeptical even then, you will have to ask that scientist to explain why this element 'exists' in-itself -- and he will explain how the physical features which characterize existence unfold in this particular element, differentiating it from others (giving it its own existence). If you ask him to prove physical substance exists, he will send you to a philosopher, who would tell you the term 'existence' was coined to refer to the world around us, and that while the definite ontological status of this world is uncertain, we know it is real enough to live in and physical enough to be called physical.
That's about as far as atheists go, and we are pretty content with that explanation.
