A common but misguided charge from believers is "how can you prove that God does not exist?" The response from atheists is "we don't have to because the onus of proof is on the one making the claim" or "you can't prove a negative."
Another common statement is that atheism isn't a belief, but the lack of belief in God or any kind of supernatural entity."
Fair enough. So this is directed to the materialists out there, defined as someone who ""the theory that physical matter is the only or fundamental reality."
That is a positive claim, so I ask the same question atheists ask believers. What is the evidence to support this claim?
