Jack is correct, the default position is that something that cannot be proven, does not exist. Burden of proof lies with the person making the claim, as it is impossible to prove that there isn't an invisible teapot revolving around the sun. (See Bertrand Russell's Teapot Theory)

Anyone here who has the ability to even make half an attempt knows better than to try as:

1. It is a logical fallacy.


2. Burden of proof lies with whomever makes the claim.
