12. How exactly do you prove a negative?
That is a fallacy. Don't tell me that I have to prove a fallacy to be correct in order to be something other than a belief/religion.

There is no proof that god exists. Period. The ball is in the court of those trying to prove it. Again, I do not need to prove the negative. The negative just is. There is no god. Everything that we have in science and rational (not defined as above, but defined in terms of logic) thought lead to that conclusion.

That is my belief system. I'm not bitching at anyone.

Except for the having to prove the negative thing.
