If you claim there is a god, then the burden of proof is on you to prove your claim.
If you claim there is a no god, then the burden of proof is on you to prove your claim.
If you state that you are not convinced there is a god then there is no burden of proof.
If you state that you are not convinced there is a no god then there is no burden of proof.

What you argue by writing such a thing is that the rules of evidence and all the scientific knowledge acquired up to now are as valid as the ideas about the origin of the world described in the Old Testament. If you think you give the same importance to religion as to science, I can’t say anything else. This is a problem of language, it is a problem of establishing what the expression “scientific proof” means and what the word “fairy tale” means.

Those four statements stand on their own. You are attempting to alter and pervert a very simple concept, that ANY assertion must be proven. That condition is not altered just because you are appealing to special pleading just because your assertion by stating that your assertion is in opposition to a positive claim.

Any assertion, no matter the source or context, must be proven.
