The Burden of Proof and Logical Fallacies

The atheists tell us the universe and everything in it came into existence due to a “big bang” created from nothingness. They do so while claiming scientific theory as the springboard for their belief systems, placing the burden of proof on others by maintaining it is we the believer who have not yet proven the scientific theory in error. This is bias subjective reasoning. Not to mention, it is an ignorant lie. Numerous scientists have proven scientifically the facts that support the creationist view. The evidence for the Biblical version of creation is overwhelmingly abundant [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]. However, atheists (and even some Christian groups) emphatically refuse to hear this evidence while clinging to their own theories like a drowning man to a life preserver. Furthermore, there is zero scientific evidence to support evolution and the big bang, which of course is why they literally refer to it as a “theory.”

In truth, the burden of proof is a double-edged sword. It is a razor-sharp blade cutting through the arguments of both the believer and nonbeliever. It is a coin with two sides that atheists refuse to admit exists. The burden of proof is a two-way street. Where the Christian has chosen to ride a bicycle, the atheist will object to using anything other than a helicopter to unfairly navigate the conversation.

The burden of proof is undoubtedly shared with the atheists for a few reasons.

First, atheism is a religious belief that cannot be proven with science. It requires faith to be an atheist.

Atheism claims absolutism, meaning, they are making a definitive statement of assurance which requires a very strong faith to emphatically believe (without evidence) that God does not exist and that everything in creation came from nothing. The nonexistence of a creator God cannot be proven. Identical to theism, atheism is not neutral from bias.

It is a statement of absolute value, that is, God does not exist. Period.

Agnosticism is much different. This ideology is only a philosophical presumption that states one cannot prove or disprove the existence of God and is therefore neutral from bias. Agnosticism is not an absolute value resembling a religious belief. Therefore, anything other than agnosticism claiming to be an absolute fact (God exists or God does not exist) must co-share the scientific burden of proof.

Second, atheism (a religious belief requiring faith) is being taught to children in public schools as if it were a scientific fact even though they (the atheists) have zero evidence to support their belief. All the while, the evidence for the Christian faith is plentiful [10] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22], yet, the powers that be refuse to allow Christians to share their evidence for creation in those same public schools.

Another item we need to understand is how atheism, evolution, and the big bang theory have no separation in their ideologies. They are all part of the same thought process derived from how “we came from nothing” and yet we exist. Evolution, the big bang, and atheism all go hand in hand. Atheism, evolution, and the “big bang” are not science; they are a religious belief that offers the world no evidence of any kind whatsoever.

God does not exist (no evidence).

God does exist (there is evidence!).

Jesus Christ was a real historical figure [10] who claimed to be God and co-eternal as the creator, performed miracles, showed Himself alive after His death, and even informed His followers that He has a plan to remove evil from existence once and for all.


And much, much more.
