Quote:"God" is the assertion of the believer. Prove your assertion. Telling me that I can't disprove it is meaningless
Yup. One of the most common logical fallacies used by the more simple minded apologists; Argument from ignorance, arguing that a proposition is true because it cannot be proven to be false. ( or the converse,used by some of the more simple minded atheists)
Quote:The argument from ignorance,[1] also known as argumentum ad ignorantiam ("appeal to ignorance"[1][2]), or negative evidence,[1] is a logical fallacy in which it is claimed that a premise is true only because it has not been proven false, or is false only because it has not been proven true.

I though about explaining the burden of proof for Angel but on reading his posts I ,honestly think the concept is too complicated for him. What do you think Min? An adolescent of modest intellect or an adult of VERY modest intellect? I'm leaning towards adolescent..
