In fact, the onus is not on anyone else but those who believe in God's existence. Consider Bertrand Russell's parable of the celestial teapot, wherein he claims, for the sake of argument, that between Earth and Mars there is a teapot revolving around the sun and that this teapot is too small for even the most powerful telescope to capture. He then claims, for the sake of argument, that since you cannot disprove it, then it must be so. Obviously, you can see the nonsensical nature of his argument. However, if the existence of this teapot was written about in ancient books and taught at Sunday schools, would it be any more believable? Apparently so, eh?
All kidding aside, you really should read Dawkins' The God Delusion. I'm not suggesting that you become an atheist. Rather, I ask that you place your various assumptions under a bit of scrutiny unlike what you have ever considered before. The book is extremely well-written and, although Dawkins is clearly an atheist and makes no attempt to hide that fact, he also presents the theist arguments in the theists' own words and then does a far better assessment than anything you have seen here in these monotonous threads. Read it and disagree. Just read it. Please.
