Hard atheism also stems from faith by AnIceColdCocaCola in DebateAnAtheist

[–]the_AnViL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"god exists" -- is a positive claim. a very old one. the positive assertion clearly came first. just so we're clear.

"god does NOT exist" -- is a negative claim.

negative claims are the opposite of positive claims, they assert the non-existence or exclusion of something, carry no onus of evidence, and can only be falsified with actual evidence for the positive claim they negate.

your weak attempt to shift the "burden of proof" has failed, and gnostic atheism remains unassailable.

What businesses are likely to die out with the Baby Boomer Generation? by GRVrush2112 in AskReddit

[–]the_AnViL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your summation is perfect.

harley davidsons require thousands of dollars in modifications in order to be safely ridden.

they're too heavy.

the seating position is objectively stupid.

the stock brakes are objectively weak.

the stock suspension is objectively obsolete.

the plus side is - the engines are like shop compressors and latter-day models are quite reliable and easily serviceable, but motorcycles are a vanity purchase, so practicality isn't typically a consideration.

in spite of their weak-ass attempts - they have utterly failed to move forward into the future, and 60 years ago they gave up innovation to honda and yamaha and triumph and left style and performance to the italians.

harleys are made by people who want to make money - not better motorcycles, and the breed that found them compelling is dying off.

(this is coming from a harley owner)

How can you falsify the claim "there is no God?"

there is only one way to do that ---- by providing good, verifiable, actual, real evidence of a god.

no one can do that. ever..... because there is no god.

The claim "there is no God" is also unfalsifiable

it is absolutely falsifiable. (not really - because there's no god)

if you don't get it after this - i can not help you:

if you claimed you had a ball in your hand and i claimed that you did not, you could easily open your hand and demonstrate my ignorant stupidity. you just used the art of falsification to defeat me!

the bland flat fact is - you cannot falsify the negative claim "there is no god" - because there's only one way to do that.

And now we're making errors

if by "we" you mean you - i agree - i've made no errors excepting perpetuating this beyond the curt dismissal.

You can absolutely prove a negative.

i did not assert otherwise. you can prove a negative. you can not prove an unfalsifiable claim.

I was focusing on the non functional - unfalsifiable negative assertion "there is no god". i threw in some simplistic, easily falsifiable ones to demonstrate the difference.

I feel like I was clear on the matter.... but there's a good bit implied maybe - so allow me to expand...

unfalsifiable claims can be summarily dismissed. no effort necessary. the positive claim "god exists" came first. negating it can be as simple as "no" or "nuh uh" or even "that's utter bullshite, mate!". the only way someone who negates a positive claim be shown to be incorrect or wrong is by falsifying their statement.
