Part 5....and it goes on and on and on

5. The burden of proof is on those who claim God exists - Let us consider something else that is difficult to prove. Imagine I were to claim that there is a pink bunny floating around some distant star and if you talk to it, you can have any wish you want. This sounds implausible, but it could be true. However, no one will believe this claim unless you can provide evidence. Evidence might include a picture of the bunny or showing that a wish of yours was granted. It sounds silly, but this is the same thing with God. If one is going to claim God exists, the burden of proof is on them to prove his or her existence. How could one prove God exists? For one, God could go on TV and tell us he exists. Without concrete proof that can be corroborated by anyone, there simply isn't a reason to accept the God theory.

I hope this lists gives you an idea of the types of arguments people use to disprove the existence of God. Whether you agree or disagree, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Hope you found this article informative!
