I don't think you understand as well, what I mean.

The argument is simple, In science, is it must that the person who the person who created an idea under falsification practice should be the person to disprove or prove it?

You said in science.
Is your topic related to science?
Confused Monotheist.

Are you using scientific procedures to explain your claims?

What is the composition of a omnipresent material?
Any equation to that?

What has that got to do with evidence of non existence?

So? It is not an example of seeking for evidence of non existence. I don't think you understand what you are saying. Look up falsification in science practice.
you are shifting goalpost I am going to follow you for the last time carefully.

An example of of seeking evidence for non-existence is in the case of phlogiston in science. Phlogiston was an idea that was regarded as real but was proven to be nonexistent when oxegen and combustion reaction were discovered.

That been said, it was disprove by another scientist hundred of years after.

If you don't agree with deistic ideas, go on and disprove it before rejecting it

The argument is that deist has the burden of proof.

Yes they do in philosophy, no they do not in science.

Oga I am not dicussing deist ideas with you so you are the one shifting goalposts. I also asked you what scientific falsification has to do with seeking evidence of non existence, you are yet to provide an answer.

okay, before I move to the next issue.

Do you agree that deists do not necessarily need to provide evidence before you disprove it based on scientific falsification?

Ws there a time when it existed?

You asked for an example where someone had to provide counter-evidence for a non-existence phenomenon?

Is phlogiston not an example?

We are getting to the point, bit by bit. Relax

I need to to tell me if the phlogiston example is not a classical case of disproving a non-existent phenomenon?

Phlogiston was a hypothesis that was supposed to explain a phenomenon, subsequent experiments proved it wrong so I dunno what you mean by non existent phenomenon. Phlogiston itself doesn't exist but the phenomenon it was seeking to explain exists.

Ok good, we are getting there.

In this case, if you swap phlogiston with God in this argument and swap the idea of phenomenon phlogiston was trying to explain with the singularity that the deistic god created before big bang, is that a perfect equivalence knowing fully well that the singularity is thing that exist?

I am trying to prove to you that Atheism is a fallacy of appealing to ignorance.

It can't do that without making you see irrefutable reasons by engaging you.

So please, is the God hypothesis and phlogiston a good equivalence?

Sicne the phenomenon we are using to explain a deistic god actually exist.

Why are scientists not disproving bigfoot, why are scientists not disproving Santa myths
Are they scientific theories?

Lol.
you claim a deistic god exist, do you also believe the other 100000 gods exist or just the deistic god?
Are you consistent with your fallacy of appealing to ignorance?

Deists are monotheists without religion.

You have it backwards. One doesn't look for evidence of non-existence, you look for evidence of existence. Without sufficient evidence for existence of a god you cannot reach the conclusion or form the belief that a god exists. So there is no flaw like you are saying.

How is disproving a THEORY the same as looking for evidence of non existence?

Trollronaldo:

It does but not in the way you think. Phlogiston was proposed to explain certain phenomenon and experiments were carried out but the experiments didn't show the existence of phlogiston instead they showed the existence of oxygen. The scientists weren't searching for evidence of non existence of phlogiston, they were looking for evidence of its existence, they didn't find it because it doesn't exist. Similarly an atheist requests for evidence of the god or gods and no conclusive evidence has been produced so the atheists says well then I don't believe. You cannot fault the atheist for reaching a conclusion, he has not, he just can't form a belief in a god.
