Again, that is arguing the invalidity of your opponent's claim. Saying 'unicorns do not exist' is its own claim - and it's indefensible - at least objectively. It's certainly a personal conviction you can hold.
You can also do basic philosophy. Here an example : Pascal's wager. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_wager
Sure. I was just pointing out that this is an over-reach (more accurately, a conviction or belief). There's a qualitative difference between 'I don't grant the existence of X unless I see it' and 'There is no X.' 'Does the creator exist' is not a binary true/false question. The third (and only objective) answer is: 'there is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is, and no way to make a case that there (conclusively) isn't'. What we can make use of is the Null Hypothesis: 'There's no there there - until and unless there's a there there'. (Pretty sure that's paraphrased.)

No, he does believe it. It is logically valid, without having to be true. 1. If there is a creator then reality (may) have a purpose. 2. If there is no creator then reality definitely does not have a purpose. He acknowledges that both statements 1 and 2 are logically valid, however he believes that the premise (the if) of statement 2 is false, therefore statement 2's conclusion is false.

Do you have any evidence for this claim? A day is defined as the time it takes for on revolution of the earth.
Hi, The statement and the question were part of the debate that took place in the courtroom. Inherit the Wind (1960) Based on a real-life case in 1925, two great lawyers argue the case for and against a Tennessee science teacher accused of the crime of teaching evolution. IMDb
