Example of a proven negative: there is no rational number whose value is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.That is proven by disproving the positive, namely by demonstrating that the claim that there is a rational number whose value is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter implies that there is a positive integer n for which n < 1. Likewise the claim to be assessed has to be "there is a God", even if the conclusion one draws from it is "there is no God", or indeed that the claim in itself cannot be meaningfully assessed. Scientists sometimes use the word "God" as an personification of nature. In which case "is" isn't a statement of physical existence. |
