You are talking not about a theism, but about a Scientific endeavour. The Science tells us, what in your garage might be particles of invisible Dark Matter. They are building large underground detectors to confirm this idea. They do not deny the idea just because it is not confirmed yet.
Absolutely NOT! I and my enlightened neighbors ALL worship this dragon as a god. My dragon, being magic and beyond the laws of nature is nothing your Science could ever detect. And since we all knew about my magical dragon before you came long to say you don't believe in my dragon, that means it's up to YOU to prove that my dragon doesn't exist.
THIS it the convoluted 'logic' that you employ. IF a nonbeliever in your god has an obligation to prove your god doesn't exist just because you claim the god existed before the nonbeliever expressed a lack of belief THEN anyone who doesn't believe in my magical dragon ALSO has an obligation to prove my dragon doesn't exist, since I claimed belief in the dragon BEFORE you claimed a lack of belief.
As anyone with even a modicum of intelligence can see, your 'logic' is completely illogical.
