'''Atheism''' is defined by the ''Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy'' as "the negation of theism, the denial of the existence of God."<ref>http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/atheism-agnosticism/</ref> Other definitions exist a which simply state something along the lines of a "belief that there is no God or gods."<ref>http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=atheism</ref><ref>http://library.thinkquest.org/25416/gloss.htm</ref><ref>http://www.reasoned.org/glossary.htm</ref><ref>http://studentorgs.georgetown.edu/guskeptics/definitions.htm</ref>. Such definitions are perceived by Creation Wiki<ref>http://creationwiki.org/Atheism</ref> as recent "attempts by atheists to redefine the meaning of atheism in order to shift the burden of proof in relation to the question of the existence of God." This itself contradicts the traditional concept of ''burden of proof''<ref>http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/itl/graphics/claims/truth.html#burden</ref> where those making the claim that something is true have to provide evidence<ref>http://john.curtin.edu.au/society/glossary/</ref> for the truthfulness of their claim. Proving the claim that something does not exists can only be disproven by providing supporting evidence<ref>http://john.curtin.edu.au/society/glossary/</ref> for the existence of that which is denied to exist. Proof for the existence of God is ultimately [[faith]] based. <ref>http://www.gotquestions.org/Does-God-exist.html</ref>
