Thats not how science works. The onus is on the one making the claim.

No, it is your default position. The billions of people who believe say different.
Billions of people believed the earth was flat.
Millions and millions of Americans believe Saddam ordered 9/11.

I believe there is a logical fallacy about your position...

You're right, I don't believe it. But I also do not dismiss it's possibility. As you say, it is improbable. But it is not impossible. Big difference.
Then do you also NOT dismiss the notion that there is no god?

Quote:
Likewise, if you make a few assumptions, there is plenty of evidence for gods existence
Assumption #1 - Vishnu is the only god.
Assumption #2 - He is beyond human comprehension and outside the laws of nature.

There I just proved Vishnu is the only God and made it impossible to disprove it.

Do you actually use that strategy to win arguments?
