Yes you can. It can be a paradox. The argument of evil had potential of disproving a benevolent creator if the argument was sound. You can logically argue against trinity for example.
It's more accurate to say, some negatives cannot be proven, and some negatives can be proven.
Quote:Hence, "shifting the burden of proof" and "argument from ignorance" are logically fallacies.
Objective morality is a delusion. Concept of free-will is a delusion. Concept of value is a delusion. Concept of praiseworthiness is a delusion. If you can't prove they are true and based on reality, then you are not justified in believing in any of these or demanding justification from those who deny it or don't believe in any of them.
Does that sound logical?
Whether God exists or not, it seems most humanity is inclined to the sacred and holiness and have a belief in existence of such things, even it came in the form of different gods, etc...
I don't think it's very easy to dismiss simply on the "burden of proof is on you, if you can't prove it, I don't need to justify why I don't believe in it or why I deny it."
