The Burden of Proof Revisited
#1
The Burden of Proof Revisited
Though the question of the burden of proof is generally brought up during debates with theists over the existence of a deity, it remains a philosophical idea, thus my reason for posting this in this particular forum. It's my experience that anyone making a claim yet denying their burden of proof is impossible to talk to, as they don't understand that they are the one who must prove their outrageous assertion.

Because too much text can make anyone's head explode, I'm going to provide a short video instead explaining in easy-to-understand details just what it means to bear the burden of proof.





If any of you after watching this still takes issue with having to support your claim with demonstrable evidence, you can yet avoid ridicule by seeing yourself out the door.
