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.

You need to go back and re-read PPOT's and PARF's rich history of "god" threads, wherein our "scientifically" inclined contributors go on ad nauseum concerning the inability to prove the non-existence of something.
We cannot conclusively prove the non-existence of the sasquatch, unicorns, leprechauns, garden fairies, and on and on. However, our inability to find any examples, after giving it a pretty good go, would lead most thinking men to conclude there are none. There are, however, those that continue to hold out hope, to fantasize about their existence.
