A thought about not being able to prove god doesn’t exist
Christians often say that you can’t prove god dose exist but you can’t prove he doesn’t either.
That type of philosophy is the same as guilty until proven innocent. If the one making a positive claim is by default right if it can’t be disprove then I can claim I was ass-raped by some random guy and he would be sent to prison unless he had undeniable proof he didn’t.
This probably has been thought of before but just incase I figured why not post it.
Yeah, I came across a a similar [url=http://evangelicalatheist.com/2005/09/23/burden-of-proof/]blog post[/url] over at Evangelical Atheist. Good one though.
very much used fallacies: [url=http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/mathew/logic.html#ignorantiam]argumentum ad ignorantium[/url] and [url=http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/mathew/logic.html#shifting]shifting the burden of proof[/url]
