I think that is incorrect. That's because there is already a huge body of evidence that the world is round. If you compare that with theism, when someone says there is no evidence for God's existence, the fact is there is really no evidence for God in the first place. So your analogy is unfair.
It's true. The onus is on the chap who says the world is round. And he has evidence for that. Abundant evidence. In our age of space travel, the evidence is incontrovertible.
