I'm not the one who hypothesized that a metaphysical, all-powerful, timeless being exists.
How science works is that if someone makes a hypothosis, that person needs to both have a reason to make that hypothosis - usually based on repeatable, verifyable evidence or observation - that can be verified through experimentation and peer review. Niether you nor any religious figure in all the history of civilization and humankind has been able to make any proof of any claim of supernatural events.
That's why, after 2000 some years, angel sightings and crying statues and miracles are regarded like UFO encounters and Evolution, M-Theory, Astronomy, Genetics, and Botany are all regarded as science.
As such, it is not an atheist's responsibility to disprove god. That's a theist's responsibility. It's a claim with no evidence. Thus, I'm not the one with the burden of proof.
