(October 15, 2013 at 6:33 am)Tortino Wrote: The burden is on the person making the claim. If I asked, "what do believe is the ultimate cause of the universe? a)Supernatural b) Natural c) Don't know. What would you answer? If you answer a or b, you have the burden. The only person who doesn't have he burden is c), an agnostic.

My answer would be 'b' and I still wouldn't have the burden of proof. The reason I wouldn't have the burden of proof is because I don't have a belief in the supernatural and if the reason I picked 'b' is because of a lack of belief in 'a' then I cannot have the burden of proof for not believing in something. And as for 'c', this is easily rejected as an option because is goes without saying that nobody actually knows.
