But I'll play along.
What is the evidence for NO UNICORNS?
Is it equally logical to believe in unicorns without evidence as it is to disbelieve in them because of the lack of evidence?
If I drop a pin in a 2,000 acre field, and you only search 500 acres of that field, how can you say Lack of evidence proves that pin is not in that field?
Can't you see how ridiculous a non-belief can be?
Do you think the F.B.I and the C.I.A only investigate 1/2 of the crime scene and then they say, "lack of evidence?" No, it doesn't work like that. lol. However, this is the theory atheists like to cling on to.
You simply do not understand what evidence means do you?
I should just give up.
Lack of evidence doesn't dis-prove anything. It just simply states that nothing detectable has been found to support the claim. Nothing detectable, study-able/researchable. It has nothing to do with dis-proval.
You've made a claim and have nothing to support the claim. Understand now?
In my view, I see this "you have no evidence to prove there is no god" as evading. You know you cannot provide evidence and so you break the rules and turn it around. The burden of proof is on your shoulders, not ours. Your claim, you prove it.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
