Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack.

It means that just because you don't yet have proof something exists, you cannot rule it out as impossible. This is a big argument for SETI, since a lot of people think that just because we aren't bombarded with signals from space, they aren't there and never will be.

Just because they couldn't find the evidence,does not mean there isn't any evidence.

google up SETI
its a well known projecy working on this topic only.
SETI = search for extra terrestrial intelligence.
you can download the software they give you, theyre using millions of computers around the world to help them analyse frequencies and data thus acting as one very very big supercomputer for the daunting task.

It means that "if there is no evidence of something, it does not mean, that something which referred is not available".
