The burden of proof

[Pete]

It's also a great reason why I.D fails so miserably. Evolution has the evidence, it is safe. I.D is a great theory, I would believe it in an instant. I just have one bit of evidence I need to see:

The "intelligent" designer.

ID has a serious flaw in it because it relies on the concept of irreducible complexity. Proponents of ID claim that there are things which cannot be explained by evolution supposedley because the complexity does not allow for intermediate transitional forms. I take that to be a very serious flaw in their reasoning.

I only have experience with theists asking for prood that God does not exist only in those cases where the atheist claims that God does not exist as if its a fact or something they can prove. We them simply call them out. Others ask them to prove it in an attempt to shut them up. Nobody really expects a proof though. Its an attempt to obtain their assumptions and then they try to show their assumptions are nothing more than beliefs.

There's a planet exactly on the opposite side of the sun on the exact same orbit as our own.

You cannot disprove it therefore I win.

That's a terrible example since, in principle, it is possible to prove otherwise in principle.
