Those who assert the existence of God have the burden of proving their claim.

What an arrogant notion. Your acceptance or rejection of belief has no impact on God's existence, no more than the lack of discovery of life on other planets affects the existince of life on other planets.

You have committed the logical fallacy that the ancient Greeks called "begging the question"- meaning that you have assumed the truth of what is at issue in the debate- the existence of God.

Your assumption based upon your belief is no proof at all.
