What an absurd question. Are you asking somebody to debate themselves?
The lack of evidence is a perfectly good reason not to believe a claim. If one wishes to strip the reason of its merit, all they have to do is provide evidence.
Conversely, Seeing evidence is a perfectly good reason to believe a claim, especially if there is an absence of evidence to the contrary.
Example:
I believe nothing can travel faster than the speed of light because evidence supports it. My inability to prove relativity wrong doesn't weaken the theory.
I also don't believe that there is a planet that orbits our sun between Earth and Mars. The complete lack of evidence for a planet-like spehrical object of considerable mass in orbit between our planet and the big red one next to it is good enough for me not to believe that such a planet exists.
