Indeed, you cannot prove a negative. You can only fail to prove a positive. So the burden is not on you, the burden is on him

The same line of reasoning could be made about proving the existance of God.

So does that mean that those who cannot prove God does not exist cannot prove their point also? Than would that mean that we must than accept everyone's belief regardless of how out of whack it is?
