[Question_Assumptions]

Atheists love to point out that you can't prove a negative when they demand that religious folks prove the existence of God. That may be true, but the absence of proof is also not proof of an absence. When an atheist asserts that there is absolutely no God, then they, too, are making a positive assertion that they know for certain that there is no God. An agnostic, which allows for either the existence or non-existence of God, is the only one able to claim that they are not making a positive assertion about the existence of God.
