Evidence Against God

[Phil]

Wrong. Very and severely wrong but often thought to be true. An absence of evidence when there should be evidence is unquestionably evidence of absence

Who actually coined that well known absence/evidence phrase?

The first I know of that said it in print was Carl Sagan but he should have known better.

edit: Sagan was quoting and criticizing Martin Rees so it is Rees that should have known better
