You keep making assertion and asking us to prove them not true.

When we make assertions you ask us to prove them. I did! With two published scientific papers and you said they were nothing more that opinions in quotes.

Why do you get to make assertion that we have to prove wrong but when we make assertions we have to prove them right.

Does anyone else see a problem with this?

"Why do you get to make assertion that we have to prove wrong but when we make assertions we have to prove them right."

Ira thinks in circles and uses fallacy to justify his beliefs.

In this case, he applies the fallacy of argument from ignorance for his assertions (where you must prove him wrong) and applies the burden of proof fallacy to your assertions (where the standard for acceptance is impossibly high).

"Does anyone else see a problem with this?"

Just keep pointing it out whenever he gives you the chance.
