This does not follow. That's just personal increduility "There must be evidence because I just can't believe there not being any seen as so many believe!" - which is fallacious thinking.
The ubiquity of belief does nothing. If everyone believed in the FSM it would mean fuck-all. It's the same with God for the same reasons. People are are imperfect, people are mortal, people are apes, people are animals (and to my mind, they're also biological robots basically), we don't all have superpowers and whatever is most popular=correct and the odd ones out are the stupid ones...the ubiquity of belief means fuck-all.
I repeat once more: the ubiquity of belief suggests nothing and is not evidence. Where is the evidence you claim of?

The bible, more specifically the new testament
