What is God?

[Mr.wizard]

WRONG! Not believing your claim that there is a cat in the box is not the same as believing there is not a cat in the box. I would not assert I believe there is no cat in the box, only that you haven't proven there is a cat in the box.

That is exactly the mistake you are making in the god example when you state:

... Also believing god dosent exist is the default position when asking whether or not a god exists...

The default position should be to not believe either way.  Believing one way or the other without evidence is irrational.  And that means that believing god doesn't exist, without evidence, is irrational.

The rational default position is to neither affirm nor deny something, until one has evidence one way or another.  Denying the existence of god without evidence is as irrational as affirming the existence of god without evidence.  Both are making claims without evidence.

First let me apologize, your are 100% right, I completely misread your post. Also I was wrong on the default position, the default position is not to believe the claim until the evidence dictates.
