That first sentence is ironic. As to the rest, it's either existant, or non-existant. Now, neither are absolutes. As time goes on, new evidence is discovered but as of now, something that doesn't have evidence to say it exists, is said to not exist. Likeliness doesn't make it exist or not. You know the phrase "innocent until proven guilty", you can look at science the same. "False until evident". Yes there's likeliness of existance, but until absolute proof of it's existance is revealed, we can't say it exists, therefore, it doesn't.
