...what?

That is a terrible assumption to make. A lack of proof indicates an absence of sufficient evidence for a phenomenon, not that said phenomenon doesn't exist or isn't possible.

Then am I suppose to put ghosts, dragons, unicorns, wizards, hobbits and vampires under the "maybe they do exists" category?

(Anonymous) 2014-04-19 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
The trouble is that, when it comes to almost all of those things, we have evidence to suggest that they can't exist, or that they have existed in less fantastical forms and were exaggerated in the service of storytelling.

There can be evidence against something, just as there can be evidence for something. When there's an absence of either, then we cannot say that the phenomenon does not exist; we can only say that we currently do not know whether it does.

Technically, yes.

You are not obligated to believe they exist, but you cannot conclusively disprove it.

(Well, you could make a case, for, say, wizards, but not really for ghosts. for example)

And this is why the hardcore atheists need to get off my awesome agnostic train.
