Dawkins, you can’t prove a negative, nor are you required to.

A man on trial doesn’t have to prove he didn’t commit the crime he’s accused of(how do you do that anyway). The prosecutor has to prove he did.

But in Dawkins case, he would the prosecutor charging that God does not exist. Therefore it is his burden to prove.
