In response to Ra’s ‘What is Atheism?’ » Answers In Reason

I was invited on Cheshire's live stream 'A Goblin Reads' with Dave as she had seen my discussion with Aron about his belief that 'Rocks are atheist!' who then wrote a post called 'What is Atheism?' Our video on prescriptivism might also be of interest: The article I read (and am responding to) is on

Discussions and The Burden of Proof » Answers In Reason

One of the problems with contemporary social media discourse is jumping around and ahead in the conversation, misusing terms, axioms, and similar and not taking the time to actually have a discussion and understand what the other person is saying.

Can you prove a negative? » Answers In Reason

I often hear my fellow atheists say things like 'You can't prove a negative!' in a debate. This is often in response to either a theist trying to shift the burden of proof, or a misunderstanding of epistemic justification (aka burden of rationality or burden of proof on a belief position). I often respond to

The Burden of Proof – Belief vs Claim – Court Room Analogy » Answers In Reason

I've had the "Burden of Proof" discussion many times recently, and a lot of it comes down to semantic issues with definitions of claim & belief, as well as the logic around propositions. I hope to clear up some of the confusion with this article.

Do we Atheists have a Burden of Proof? – Conflated and Misunderstood Terms: Vol 7 » Answers In Reason

"The burden is on the claimant!", "I only lack belief so I have no burden", "I don't hold a belief as that is a claim" and other phrases are touted by many fellow atheists on the internet. Is this correct, or are we missing some of the picture? This article hopes to discuss What is

More on Beliefs and Justifications » Answers In Reason

Introduction One of our authors, Davidian, here at Answers in Reason recently published an excellent article discussing the burden of proof on beliefs. The response to this article by many atheists and sceptics on Twitter was interesting to say the least. It received an awful lot of pushback, with many arguing that Davidian did not
