(Before a religious person jumps all over me for making statements of fact I can't back up, let me say this. I'm talking informally. I'm not in science/formal logic mode all the time.
When I say "X didn't happen", what I actually mean is, "There is absolutely no credible evidence to support event X happening, and plenty of reason to think it didn't happen, including simple explanations that require no assumptions which are extremely more likely than this outlandish claim". My sentences would get a bit long if I went into such detail all the time. The argument from ignorance is popular, and it is really stupid. The time I take claims which clash with reality seriously is the point at which evidence is presented. I'm happy to look at it. But anecdotes are not credible evidence of anything beyond the mundane.)
