You can't prove a negative (parody)

[Darkstar]

It is the Job of the Creator or everyone who believes in a properly basic belief, to prove it? No.

But if it is properly basic, why would it be denied (by sane people)?

Furthermore, if someone denied the physical universe existing or said he doesn't believe it exists, they are allowed to wonder "Well why the heck do you believe that?".

And perhaps there is a reasonable explanation, perhaps not.

If the person responded "The burden of proof is on you to show it exists, not on me to show it doesn't exist or why I don't believe it doesn't", how does it sound?

It sounds unusual, but there is nothing to be gained from denying the existence of the universe. Would we not still act in the same way regardless? What evidence is there that the universe doesn't exist? (And if it does not, how are we capable of thought?)

It sounds very irrational right? Perhaps there is a rational explanation the person has.

Perhaps he says, well I don't think it exists because of x and y or don't believe it exists because of x and y, and understands that it's counter intuitive to not believe in the physical existence of the universe.

Which one sounds like a more reasonable human being?

Some counter-intuitive things are true, but there still doesn't appear to be any reason to doubt the existence of the universe.

You can measure how tall Mario is in Mario 64 relative to the pixel, it doesn't mean it's a real world at all. You haven't even show it's possible for physical world to exist, let alone evidence that it does exist.

Mario can't actually think, so he couldn't even ponder these questions in the first place.
