"There isn't one, 1 is the very next number right after 0.999... Checkmate atheists." (In all seriousness I don't think it's a very convincing argument for someone who doesn't buy the proofs -- it requires you to believe and have internalized the idea that there are an infinite number of reals between any two distinct reals, and therefore that any pair of reals with nothing between are the same number. Those seem like bigger logical leaps to me than the simple proofs for someone who hasn't thought about this stuff.)
