My son is almost 6 years old. He doesn't believe anything about Gods. Are you saying that you think the burden of proof would be on my son if you walked up to him and said that he ought to believe in God? Notice that my son is in the default position-(No God). The assumption is that the world is exactly as he believed it to be before you walked up. Currently, Gods are not featured among the things he believes to exist, and your understanding of the burden of proof tells you that you're right until he proves you wrong?

I want you to really think about this one, because the wrong answer is going to put you in a real pickle...
