Quote:1. by making a claim you have the burden of proof
DING! Very good!
Quote:2. you have the option of rejecting a claim aswell
DING! You're on a roll!
Quote:3. to conclusivly reject a claim you must present reason (or proof)
BZZZZZTTT!!!
This is absolutely absurd. I claim that a six foot tall invisible rabbit lives in my house and likes to eat chocolate eggs. According to you, you must now present proof to conclusively reject my claim. Please present such proof. If you can't, you must then accept my claim as valid. Correct?
Quote:4. therefore the conclusive rejection of a claim requires the burden of proof
BZZZZZTTTT!!
Now you're at 50%. Do you agree that the burden of proof is on you to reject my invisible rabbit claim?
Quote:5. therefore the conclusive rejection of a claim is also a claim
BZZZZZZTTTT!!!
Oh, dear. Three misses in a row. Where did you learn this crap? Because my Logic 101 professor would have failed you.

Yes, it's quite clear you have no idea how logic works.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
