Russell's Teapot by David Raphael - 2010
Russell's teapot, sometimes called the Celestial Teapot, is an analogy first coined by the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), intended to refute the idea that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon the sceptic to disprove unfalsifiable claims of religions. Russell's teapot is still referred to in discussions concerning the existence of God.

Russell's Teapot and Sagan's "Dragon In The Garage" are both classics, and I'm glad to have both in my arsenal!

Having read many of Russell's books, I sometimes find the teapot useful in discussions with people who assert too much for their faith.
