That's silly; scientists prove negatives all the time.
Law does not equate to science or logic.
Besides, it depends on the court system and how it's set up.

This is like a pregnancy test; if she's pregnant, it's positive
if she's not pregnant, it's negative.
Now it doesn't matter how you ask the question,
if is not positive, then it has to be negative (and that's more likely)
you've proven the negative; it's the positive that's always in doubt.
that's why they give further tests after the initial, just to make sure.

Now, as far as your definition goes with my definition of "God",
yes, there would be an "anti-god"...it would be the Void. (non-existance)
Please remember my definition is not others, and not some being in "control",
mine is defined as the essence or the "soul" of the Universe.

I was not brought up with any religion whatsoever.
However, being me...I study everything, science, history, philosophy, etc.
and yes religions and other faiths.
My faith has grown & developed with my knowledge, experience and interaction with the world.
And believe me, I question & analyze everything.
However, you don't become as in tune or empathic as I am
without realizing everything is connected.
In scientific terms, you might define this as "chaos theory"
In philosophical terms, you might define this as "the Gaea concept"
This is my faith; however I extend it to Universal scale.
There isn't control, there only connection
growth & experience...like yourself...a great experiment.
There's good & bad about you & your body, and hopefully it gets better.
Same thing about your environment, your world
your universe.

So then prove to me you, aren't you.
Prove to your environment is not connected.
Prove to me the world isn't one unto itself, there is a balance it keeps.
Prove to me that the Universe isn't One & Individual (the Ultimate Duality)

It seems absurd to try to prove this, doesn't it? (especially on that scale)
So for you to ask me to "prove" it to you seems unfair.
For me to do all the work,
when I believe what I believe, and you believe what you believe.
Gee, it kind of sounds like a "faith"
Except your "faith" is atheism.
so be it, and I leave you to your explanation
and you leave me to mine
until either one of us can prove it either way.
This kind of sounds like an Agnostic....another faith.
hmm...

Like I said, let's use our science to prove the "how".
And we'll let our faith (or philosophies) support the "why".
