I agree, that should be the case. But I disagree that an absence of evidence constitutes a falsification. It's like asking if there's evidence in a butterfly that it was once a caterpillar (perhaps there is). But if a change has occurred, by definition, the previous state has been altered, minimized, or eliminated.
The point here: Christianity accounts for imperfection.
