(8,824 posts)The burden of proof is on someone insisting a god, demi-god, unicorn, fairy, leprechaun, mermaid, Santa, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, Great Pumpkin, etc. actually exist. Until they produce proof, the default is "no supernatural/magical creatures actually exist."

(1,579 posts)but one thought for consideration. Although there has never been proof of an anthropomorphic "God", such an entity being a necessity for a formalized religion, nevertheless the very fact that the universe and life itself exist would seem to necessitate some sort of eternal unknowable essence that brought all this about. And it is this eternal essence that humans have decided to call "God", assign human physical characteristics to, and then to worship in the religions that they have created for themselves.
