Penn Jillette is legit... prove he lied


I never said he lied.  I said you believe him on faith.

But you're the one making a claim, so the burden is on you to prove it.
What you're asking is impossible:  to prove that someone's drinking doesn't exist.


It is easily possible to prove something that does not exist.

I have no elephants in my house. Or I am not drinking alcohol.

Only true in the trivial cases where something is provable, but not true for all cases. Do you have invisible microscopic elephants that run from you when you attempt to investigate them? Have you drunk alcohol that tastes and smells like like water and does not get you drunk and that someone has been putting in your water pipes?

This is an illustration of why the burden of proof regarding the existence of god is with those who claim a god or gods to exist.
