I accept Burden of Proof, but only because I choose to.

What bothers me is when the atheist claims their worldview to be the default truth position.

It's a bit of a problem, isn't it?

No living person has ever seen Pluto. Alleged 'photos' of Pluto are very recent creations. Probably forgeries designed to justify NASA's exorbitant, wasteful budget. (NASA $29 billion dollars. The Vatican $0.3 billion)

I won't believe Pluto exists unless I can see it with my own eyes. Do it in a controlled environment. If Pluto exists, you can demonstrate it right?

Belief in a god/s since childhood, no problem, but one of thousands KBO's, that's just a bridge too far.

I see what you did there.

Jesus said his "[followers] will do even greater things than these" John 14:12. And yet, somehow they never do. So, per v11, show me the works.

I see you never read the book of Acts.

Do you accept Acts as an historical accurate narrative?

That's not important. For the record, Tinker Grey (atheist) is referring to the Bible as-if it were a historical narrative. Then he demands a follow-up to Jesus' prophesy. That shows up in Acts after Jesus leaves, and the miracles continue. This is true even when the gospels and Acts are read as fiction.

Therefore, Jesus' prophesy is fulfilled regardless of whether "I" believe the Bible is a historically accurate narrative or pure fiction. Even if one reads it like a comic book, this is an easy prophesy to fulfill.

Are you suggesting that prophecies concerning Jesus because someone wrote something down (Acts) after the fact is evidence?

Seriously?!

No, I'm saying that Tinker simply didn't read the entire narrative. Jesus said his followers would do "greater works," and that's when Tinker stops reading. Had he continued through Acts, it would have been more apparent.
