SoC, you don't understand what the burden of proof is do you?
It is not contingent on whether you are able to prove it or not. Logically you have to provide evidence.
Lets do an example:
I claim that orange elephants exist.
1)Who is making the claim, me or you?
2) Who has to prove this claim, me or you?
3) Who has the burden of proof? Me or you?
I've never seen an orange elephant before, but I just have a good feeling they exist somewhere....

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
