If My Interlocutor Desires To Convince Me That Jupiter Has Inhabitants, And That His Description Of Them Is Accurate, It Is For Him To Bring Forward Evidence In Support Of His Contention. The Burden Of Proof Evidently Lies On Him; It Is Not For Me To Prove That No Such Beings Exist Before My Non-belief Is Justified, But For Him To Prove That They Do Exist Before My Belief Can Be Fairly Claimed. Similarly, It Is For The Affirmer Of God's Existence To Bring Evidence In Support Of His Affirmation; The Burden Of Proof Lies On Him.

If My Interlocutor Desires To Convince Me

If My Interlocutor Desires To Convince Me That Jupiter Has Inhabitants, And That His Description Of Them Is Accurate, It Is For Him To Bring Forward Evidence In Support Of His Contention. The Burden Of Proof Evidently Lies On Him; It Is Not For Me To Prove That No Such Beings Exist Before My Non-belief Is Justified, But For Him To Prove That They Do Exist Before My Belief Can Be Fairly Claimed. Similarly, It Is For The Affirmer Of God's Existence To Bring Evidence In Support Of His Affirmation; The Burden Of Proof Lies On Him.

I Often Think That Woman Is More Free In Islam Than In Christianity. Woman Is More Protected By Islam Than By The Faith Which Preaches Monogamy. In Ai Quran The Law About Woman Is Juster And More Liberal.
