Responding to this: "You say, for example, “Cain’s position is that, since the non-existence of ‘God’ is far more likely than the opposite, then believers have a greater burden of proof.” That’s not even close to a fair representation of what I’ve written."

I've also read most of Mr. Cain's posts on atheism and I am under the same misunderstanding as Graham. If theism is preposterous, and if it is far easier to demonstrate there is no personal God than demonstrate there is one, isn't this saying the burden of proof is with the theists. This is famously Antony Flew's argument, as well as what I have understood from Cain, but, of course, Flew confronted the evidence and changed.
