http://atheology.com/2007/04/15/goodbye-burden-of-proof/ n. against God or gods, anti-theology, the defense of naturalism Sat, 28 Apr 2012 13:38:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://atheology.com/2007/04/15/goodbye-burden-of-proof/comment-page-1/#comment-117 Rastaban Wed, 25 Apr 2007 00:40:49 +0000 http://atheology.com/2007/04/15/goodbye-burden-of-proof/#comment-117 Thanks for the comment. It's unfortunate that so many internet discussions on hot button topics like evolution vs intelligent design or atheism vs theism degenerate into angry name-calling. Or if the conversation doesn't degenerate, people often seem to talk past each other. I feel for what you went through in your debate, and I'm glad you found my thoughts on burden of proof worth reading. Thanks for the comment.

I have had a terrible experience in the debate and have been reduced to chagrining an atheist or to as they chide back. It all becomes childish insults represented as fact, such as "you are a stupid christian who needs a father figure" or "Your uninformed about the subject" when I seem to understand the matter of evolution by natural selection quite well. I thought this article on the burden of proof relieved the sting of having to argue with people who dub themselves "realists."
