Hmmm, it seems obvious to me that this "non-religious" thread is merely a christian grasping at straws in the hopes of establishing some kind of theoretical benchmark from which to quote from in the event of future religious debates regarding proof of god. I think you know good and well that if you somehow established this theory of yours without god being interjected, it would only serve to bolster any future reference you might make to this thread.
It's ridiculous. Call it an axiom, don't call it an axiom, call it whatever you want. The burden of proof belongs to the person making a claim and that fact is non-negotiable, regardless of the pseudo philosophical drivel you attach to it. If you make the claim, than you are required to defend that claim if you want anyone to accept it as truth.
Furthermore, who gives a shit how you label it? That label will not excuse you from providing evidence for your arguments in future threads.
