Not necessarily. If I said that the earth was near spherical and provided no evidence, I'd still be correct. So even without evidence, God might exist. But I see what you're saying, and yes it so improbable, unlikely, counter-intuitive, all the rest. I think what you meant was "unless the claim is backed by evidence, we have no reason to believe it is true"?
