Ulic, you cannot prove that there is no flying spaghetti monster, you can only assume that there isn't. The only thing you can be certain of is the fact that you cannot remember seeing one before. See what I did there?

i agree, i cannot prove there is no flying spaghetti monster.
i can assume there isnt one here on earth.
i can be certain i've never seen one before.
quantum physics combined with how infinitely large our universe(s) is, the probably of a flying spaghetti monster type creature somewhere out there is greater than the probability that there is not.
you don't need evidence to make a claim.
you claim about something that happened in the past, and only you know if its true or not. then what? are you saying your claim is invalid because you have no way to prove it?
if you live by that statement it limits your field of view by a great amount and it's very stubborn.
it's very much like "don't believe it till i see it"
plus i do have evidence.
i have the evidence of human response.
in fact we are both smart enough to not have to ask anyone. we can come up with the possible answers to my survey.
my personal question to each and every individual that replies on this forum is...
what was life like before you were born?
there's only a few possible answers:
1) I don't remember
2) I don't know/not sure/cant find out.
3) It was like XXXXXX
anyone that says nothing, is assuming it was nothing (because they don't know, or cant remember) or is making a claim that they remember it was nothing, which means there was something because they can remember there was nothing.
and on top of that, with the gathering of those 3 answers, i think it's safe to say, "nothing" would be the weak claim without any evidence.
