Why not false till proven true?
Because if you truely believed it was false you would spend your life constantly and utterly doing nothing until you proved it was possible.

Don't step in a puddle until you can prove it won't kill you, don't eat food until you prove it will sustain you.

What about no opinion until some evidence suggests true or false?
Fence sitting

Should I believe that ancient astronauts built the Pyramids until I get conclusive proof that they did not?
The same way you should believe the moon is made of cheese

It seems that you are suggesting belief in a lot of nonsense just because it cannot be disproven.
No I am saying that you believe the earth is flat because the evidence indicates it is right up to the point where it is PROVED it is round.

You believe the world is the centre of the universe until you take celestial readings that show it is revolving around the sun.


Science works ONLY by disproof... you cannot prove ANYTHING to be true.

You don't just believe something because it cannot be disproven... the fact you have any belief in it in the first place is because it is common sense and because the evidence indicates it as being highly likely...

The difference comes in that when you are given proof otherwise you accept it while those that use faith will never believe otherwise regardless of proof because they don't need any.
