You are the one making an existential claim. the Burden is all yours.
We both, I assume, accept the existence of the universe exists. You are the one that is adding an entity to explain the existence of said universe.
Again, you have he burden of proof.
What putative evidence are you referring to? Please present it and convince me.
We're not talking about the existence of God, dipshit.
Pay attention. We're talking about how to make sure someone who claims to see no evidence for the existence of God isn't just a blind incompetent.
Is atheism the result of blind incompetence in assessing evidence? If not, what is the putative evidence they claim to have examined and dismissed?
Either way.
It is still up to you to provide your evidence, then we'll assess it to determine if it is: demonstrable, repeatable, falsifiable and stands up to reasoned argument, and is logically valid and sound.
I'm not about to guess what evidence you claim to have, then dismiss it as not being convincing without first examining it.
Please, open a thread, present your evidence so it can be assessed.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
