Dear Interested
Well, one thing I've learnt from the atheists is you cannot demand someone to prove a negative, e.g. prove that God does NOT exist. I mean, we can ask this question but they'll throw back at you with additional questions such as "prove that pink unicorns/leprechauns/etc do not exist." The ball is thrown back into the Christian's court to prove that pink unicorns do not exist. I usually can't be bothered with wasting my time playing ping pong with them. So I'll concede that perhaps pink unicorns DO exist. I mean, who knows right? There's talk that perhaps dinosaurs are still roaming in the deep forests of the Amazon. Our world is so small and we're not omniscient. So who knows, perhaps pink unicorns really do exist. (Maybe read too much CS Lewis, hee hee.) No, I usually avoid "negative" hypothesis like this but if I get asked, I'll just point out that the problem is for the atheist or the doubter, not for me. Some things I have been convinced (e.g. existence of God), some I am still open (e.g. pink unicorns). Quite simply, it's your problem so don't ask me to solve it for you! -eveline
