You claim the burden of proof belongs to the person making the claim so now follow your own maxim the one you love so much and PROVE YOUR CLAIM. let me see proof and not conjecture, assumptions and bias....well I'm not actually laughing, more of a chuckle.
Moving on!
Mark 13:13 Wrote:I accept you ask valid questions but its not an obvious answer and I have already shown that the french civil legal system operates on the opposite maxim so the answer its obvious doesn't qualify as a proof.I just got back from a three week haitus, so I didn't read your comments about the French legal system. Regardless, if we assumed every claim to be true without evidence then you must also accept the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, because you cannot prove it doesn't exist.
I do not need to accept a statement like the above FSM is true by my logic because you make the assumption that logic is the only basis one which one must accept a claim, I am free to believe it or not based on the complex processes that I as a human being, evaluate any claim made. Logic is one among many both conscious and unconscious processes.
