Was pretty hard to find a lot of scientific discoveries until recently and we have literally just started scratching the surface.
Not being able to find evidence just means that we have not found any evidence.
We need evidence that supports the contrary.

Although I did not suggest that, I will take the bait and disagree. If you cannot find scientific evidence after intense study, it is more likely not true. The inability to find evidence to support your hypothesis does not give you any bit more confidence your theory was correct. In fact, it makes it more unlikely. It is true, however, that there are many things we do not understand nor can prove scientifically how they work. That does not the the opposite is true (that the less evidence, the more likely). It just doesn't work that way. Claims of scientific proof when there are none...are just hypothesis without any scientific basis...fairy tales.
