P.S. Asking me to give proof that something does not exist is a
logical fallacy.


another idiot attempting to be logical

i hate to break it to you
but somethings can be proven not to exist
and this can be very important

How would you do that?

why not state the issue correctly

the burden of proof of a statement
lies on the person making the statement

whether the statement is negative existential
is irrelevant to the metalogical requirements

Ah yes... but if you recall the original statement was be EvoBob saying
that the existence of extraterrestrial life was "obvious" to anyone. I
challenged him to prove that there is extraterrestrial life, and he
responded with, "prove there is not." The burden of proof remains with
him.

confusing levels of discourse is not being logical
especially when you dont even realize the different levels
