        appears to think that the critic of theism is claiming that there are no 
        deities and that such a claim can be proven or has been proven.  
        What is actually being claimed by most critics of the claims that there 
        are deities or miracles is that "There is not sufficient evidence to 
        establish the existence of a deity or a miracle."  or that "It has 
        not been proven that there are deities or miracles."  The burden of 
        proof is on the claimant of the positive claim that an entity X does 
        exist.  The critic of the person making the positive claim that an 
        entity X does exist is asking for evidence in support of that claim and 
        that the evidence be relevant and sufficient to warrant or support the 
        claim.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B1DC9133-9AB5-49F6-B5B6-33ECDD5AD36B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
