A christian youtuber was having a bit of a laugh for supposedly stumping the hosts on an Austin, TX based cable access show, The Atheist Experience. He asked a question and was unsatisfied with their answer, therefore concluding that he had one-upped the evil atheists. This is all captured in his latest video upload, to which I will not supply a link, because I don't want to give him any additional traffic for him to soapbox his ignorance.
Also, it is noteworthy that I found out about this guy in the first place because he spammed me a friend invite, which I will continue to not act on, as I would rather keep things the way they are between us, that is chime in on his stuff anytime I feel so inclined to call him out on his bullshit.
The question he asked Atheist Experience was:
What proof and evidence can you supply that proves atheism is accurate and correct?
The answer to that is simple:
No one needs to prove that something doesn't exist. The one who makes the extraordinary claim that something exists has the burden of proof.
Not exactly rocket science.

This isnt a court of law. Burden of proof for something doesnt really plays a role in true scientific method. In fact, real scientific method is to disprove something. So the burden, based on scientific methodology, is to disprove something, and if you cannot disprove something the you actually prove it.
Anyone can find evidence to "prove" something. Its actually a running joke in statistical analysis that you can "prove anything with statistics". I can show you a million bits of "evidence" to prove anything, but without proof against something, you cannot rule out anything.
Essentially, something always has the possibility and potential to exist, unless you can disprove it. If an atheist cannot disprove God, than he does not disprove the possibility of God.
