You are describing scientific proof which does not exist for ANYTHING. Asking for such proof is asking for something which does not exist

Well, the OP presents the topic much more broadly, vegas giants. But I agree with your post.

If it is changed to the burden of EVIDENCE then much evidence can be provided

If you allege delusion, hoax, fraud, falsehood, etc.,

then the burden in the first instance falls on you to make the case

100% true. If someone claims that a religion is a fraud or a delusion, they must provide evidence. And if a religious person claims to know there is a God they must provide evidence. My position is that no one has ever provided anything close to adequate evidence for a all knowing all powerful God all loving God. There for I have no burden. The burden is on the ones wanting control over me and my families life by claiming they have God on their side and that they are on a mission from God.

Much evidence for what?

Anything you wish. You may present evidence for god and people can choose to accept it or not. You can not present evidence for a lack of something. You can not prove god does not exist or exist but you can cite evidence that he MAY exist. Which we can accept or reject.

That's what many think, but might there not be evidence for lack of sympathy, lack of understanding, lack of foresight, and so on?

It would be to one as easily amused as you are, quite clearly. You have a long history of transparent dishonesty, mischaracterizations and attempting to use arguments and terminologies that you clearly do not understand.

That is simple, objective fact based on your posting history.

No one's asking you to like it, but you're not nearly honest enough to own it.

You're making more allegations. The burden of proof is on you.
