You want me to prove that something does not exist? If Demons truly exist, it should be easier for you to prove that they do exist. I can't prove a negative. This is not a problem with me; it is a common principle in science. Proof requires evidence, and the lack of evidence is not proof of anything. It is not unreasonable to say that something that has never been observed in nature does not exist. However, to say that this unobserved thing does exist is extraordinary. At one time black holes where not observed in nature. The burden of proof was on those who believed that black holes existed. They then discovered them in nature and proved their point. If you say that demons exist, the burden of proof is on you, just like those who claimed that black holes existed. If I say they do not exist, the only proof I have to show is that they have not been observed in nature, and the lack of evidence is not proof.
