dh: > But you can't take the absence of evidence as evidence of absence. Things just don't work that way. I had two friends murdered in 1999, and there is a serious lack of evidence in that crime, but that doesn't change the fact that it happened. Absence of evidence of the killer doesn't mean the killer doesn't exist.Thus the burden of proof lies with the positive assertion.-Kent" "Thus the burden of proof lies with the positive assertion." -The assertion that there is no God is a positive assertion. 'No God' requires faith just as much as 'there is a God'. and finaly, the agnostic has faith in that he has no way to know which is correct. All those positions are 'beliefs'.
