Absence of evidence can be evidence of absence if the thing in question is something you'd expect there to be evidence of if it was present. Like if someone tells you there's a bear in your house and you search your house without finding a bear, there's probably not a bear in your house.

@BlueVeins If there is no bear in the house you will see some evidence that he was there if he was. And we see plenty of evidence of higher intelligence than us in the universe.
