@narutardtedr That's not proof Bigfoot doesn't exist. What if he is having dinner with friends in a mobile home in Iowa? I can't even follow your reasoning on the unicorn thing. Seems to me you are adding a qualifier to allow you to prove there are not invisible unicorns.

@narutardtedr I can also prove bigfoot doesn't eat at red lobster. If i were to compile all the surveillance footage from every red lobster in the world and watch it, and he doesn't appear. I have thus proven he did not eat there. So now since i have proven that you CAN prove a negative it is up to you to prove the bible is not the inspired word of god.

@shananagans5 Well i'm holding a pink unicorn that is glued to my hand, that is invisible but has very tangible blood. And when i close my hand the very visible blood will splash everywhere. Since i closed my hand and there is no blood coming from an invisible source, i have thus proven there is no unicorn. If we lock down the woods before we cut them down and find no bigfoot, we proved he did not exist. So yes you can prove something doesn't exist. Ball still in your court.

@narutardtedr That isn't valid because you can never prove something doesn't exist or something is not related. Basically, you can't prove a negative. EVER! Prove Bigfoot doesn't eat at Red Lobster.

@shananagans5 Prove god exists? Hmmm...I KNOW I KNOW! The bible. Now it's up to you to prove the bible is not the inspired word of god. Ball in your court buddy.

@sammybarnet If you are ok with hunting look up the video: The day pigs did fly.(it's funny if you like bacon, horror invoking if you are a vegetarian)

The thing is,when religious people say prove god doesn't exist that is dishonest because you can't prove something doesn't exist. Prove bigfoot doesn't exist. That's not possible. I tell them if you claim something exists, it's up to you to prove because it's impossible to prove something DOESN'T exist. Then they say "faith" lol They never quit.
