Tom Capuder<p>You can’t say something is “real” and then claim it exhibits none of the properties of any other real objects, and can’t ever be examined or analyzed empirically. That’s pretty much a good definition of “not real.”<br>—P. Z.

But I don't, because making that positive claim allows the theist to say "prove it." And you can't prove a negative. Can I prove beyond a doubt that gods and werewolves don't exist? Of course not. I can only say that their nonexistence is *most likely*, as you say with the crown jewels.</p><p>Also, I'm more interested in theists providing convincing evidence for *their* positve claims, without making claims of my own. </p><p>______________________<br><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/atheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atheism</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/faith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>faith</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/god" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>god</span></a></p>
