If someone makes a positive statement then yes the burden is on them to prove it e.g. "God exists". If someone a negative statement e.g. "God does not exist" then they do not have to prove it. The fact that there is no evidence that God does exist is sufficent enough to justify the logic "God does not exist". Its like for example someone saying " I don't believe in the Tessopglory monster of Antartica - he doesn't then have to prove that it doesn't exist - the fact that there is no evidence to suggest its existence is enough.
Do you understand anything of what I've just wrote?
Fair enough so then you're not actually participating in this debate then... you're just a spectator? The question was 'does God exist'. What do you claim? Yes or no? If you're not going to commit to either then fair enough but that's what this debate is about.
Fair enough. I'm not a physicist so I can't really argue with you on it. It is just quite difficult to believe that we can be absolutely sure that matter comes into existence without any cause. It would seem to me impossible to prove that there is no cause. I would have thought that the opinion would have been that we just don't know the cause of why matter comes into existence. But again i really don't know.
I'm sorry I don't understand. The point in doing what?
My point was that a rabbit that magically appears in the magicians could be said to appear out of no where, therefore it may seem like particles appear out of the no where but in reality there is some sort of cause. The same could debunk the theory you're talking about by saying there is a cause and we just don't know it yet.
