Read my webcomic: http://kanirabaxter.comicgenesis.com/ Visit the BionicDance store: http://www.cafepress.com/bionicdance Theists often like to try to turn the burden of proof around on atheists, but this is invalid for two reasons: 1 - Atheism is not making a positive claim 2 - The burden of proof lies upon those introducing a new idea, not on those who do not hold to that idea...and god's existence is a new element being introduced to the universe As such, the burden of proof will ALWAYS lie with the theist; critique of their case is NOT a positive claim, theist assertions to the contrary.
