If that is so, why are unanswered prayers not counted against the existence of God?

Can we really accept as evidence a test where negative results are disregarded?

Well, an actual answer would indeed be something. I'd be convinced personally if God appeared and said: "Right, I'll solve your problems" and then everything was all right. The problem is that many people praise God, when they probably should be praising a doctor who was able to cure them.
