Negative Proofs: 👇
It is generally unreasonable to demand proof of a negative, particularly if there is no evidence to support the positive claim.
Anything asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Umeshindwa kuthibitisha uwepo wa huyo Mungu, yeye kama yeye, bila kumhusisha na chochote.
Unahusisha vitu vilivyomo ulimwenguni kufosi kwamba viliumbwa na huyo Mungu.

Divine fallacy. Argument from incredulity.
Divine fallacy, also known as the argument from incredulity, is a logical fallacy asserting that because a phenomenon is amazing, complex, or difficult to understand, it must be caused by divine intervention or a supernatural force.
It assumes personal lack of understanding equals a divine explanation.
Kama kila kilichopo kitahitaji kuwa na MUANZILISHI wake. Hata muanzilishi wa kila kitu atahitaji kuwa na muanzilishi wake mwingine.
Pasiwepo kitu chochote kile kilicho exist chenyewe tu bila chanzo.
Hivyo kutakuwa na msururu mrefu usio na mwisho wa vyanzo vingi visivyokuwa na mwisho.
Kusema kwamba lazima Dunia iwe chanzo lakini Mungu hana chanzo ni kufanya logical fallacy inaitwa
special pleading fallacy.
The special pleading fallacy is an informal fallacy where someone applies a double standard, invoking a universal principle while arbitrarily claiming an exception for themselves or a specific, preferred case without justification. It is a form of rationalization used to avoid admitting a claim is false or to exempt oneself from rules.
The burden of proof in religion generally rests on the person making a positive assertion (theist claiming God exists), requiring them to provide evidence to support their claim. It follows the principle onus probandi, where the party asserting a position must substantiate it, rather than the party denying it.
