" Well, I hear a lot of theists essentially state that they don't need to fulfill the usual burden of proof because their god cannot be detected by the scientific method/mundane investigation. That's literally their justification: their god cannot be detected by science (because they said so) and therefore this god should not be subjected to the same level of scrutiny that we would give every other claim. It cannot be detected by normal methods, and therefore, instead of the conclusion that this being has failed to meet the burden of proof for existing, they want us to conclude that the normal methods are unsuitable for detecting it, and we should just believe anyway.
God can't shoulder the burden of proof, and so there's a certain stripe of theist who will argue that god doesn't need to be subjected to the burden of proof, because he would fail if we tried that. "
thank you that makes sense
