burden of proof

excuse for debate club fags and defendents in court, amirite?

Why on Earth do you people insist on the same pointless point?  Follow along:

You make the absurd assumption (that a "universe-shitting bowel" exists, even for the sake of argument) then challenge me to produce evidence.  THERE'S NO FUCKING EVIDENCE ... that's why I HAVE NO EVIDENCE.  HAVING NO EVIDENCE is the primary indicator that THERE'S NO FUCKING EVIDENCE.  We live in an evidential civilization, where people in all walks of life investigate things and produce megatons of evidence ... so it's not like we're not looking!

On top of THAT farce (of yours), anything of cosmological significance should produce cosmological evidence.  We're sitting on top of mountains of evidence of the Big Bang, which means the probability of detecting it is ONE.  Big Bang = cosmological event.  "Universe-shitting bowel" = cosmological event.  YET ... there's NO FUCKING EVIDENCE of the latter.  We're inescapably back to the previous problem (of yours)!

When you fuckos (or ANYONE) find the bit piece of corn or nut in the alleged giant turd that is our universe, THEN I will have to admit the Bowel Theory will have merit.  But there's been no sighting of any such cosmologically huge piece of corn or nut, nor of any intergalactic-space-filling fartgas, nor of a puckered godbung visible as a wall across the universe.

(At this point, someone needs to butt in and make a joke about "what about Dark Matter".  Lulz will abound.)

In conclusion, all this was rather pointless overall since you essentially admitted I was right:

"I'll admit, however, that if you knew that there is absolutely no evidence [...] then you could say it doesn't exist, or that it's existence had no effect anyway so it's existence didn't matter."

P.S. Note well the omission "[...]" from your comment.  I deleted that useless and academic CRAP since if you had to wait for complete information, you'd never make a decision.  There are 10⁸⁰ particles in our universe, so it's foolish to make the extreme demand that we must know if something DOESN'T EXIST at every point in the universe.  By the time you'd closely investigated 0.001% of the universe, the universe's expansion would be so large that you'd never finish taking your survey of the remaining 99.999%.  Remember, part of what I've said over and over is that we're talking PRACTICAL results, not ACADEMIC ones.  There's no point in asserting calculations that cannot be proven (which is why so much of physics today is in trouble, with string theory).
