94. It's not by "my" logic. It's by logic, period.
You can't prove a negative.

If you want to say I find no evidence to support a believe in werewovles, that's fine. You can even say, therefore based on lack of evidence, I choose not to believe in the existence of werewolves. That is fine to. But saying "I choose not to believe in werewolves due to lack of concrete evidence" is not the same thing as denying that werewolves might in fact exist. You just haven't seen any evidence for them. That is in fact what you should be saying.

The moment you say "werwolves do not exist" you've created a proof burden for yourself that you cannot support.
