So does it follow that I can reasonably assert that everything is made out of invisible microscopic unicorns that are so small, light, and move so fast that they cannot be measured? Oh, wait…
What evidence do I have for this you ask? Who needs evidence. Absence of evidence after all is not evidence of absence. But I had a great vision in which the chief unicorn revealed to me the meaning of life. One you just take a leap of faith and believe that my vision is true everything else will make perfect sense. You don’t even have to take my word for it. Come stay for a month at the unicorn temple, eat some mushrooms, meditate, and you will experience for yourself a higher level of existence…
The absence of evidence is the genesis of every false faith in the world.
