"没有证据并不等于没有存在。"

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, just because we don't see any proof of something, it doesn't mean that thing doesn't exist. For instance, imagine you're in a dark room looking for your phone. You can't see it, but it might still be there, just hidden somewhere. Similarly, in history, before people had the tools to find microscopic life, they had no evidence of germs, but germs still existed and made people sick. This idea can help us remember to keep an open mind and not jump to conclusions too quickly. If you're searching for a lost item or trying to solve a problem and can't find a solution right away, it doesn't mean it's hopeless; you might just need more time or a different approach. So, keep looking, asking questions, and exploring possibilities, because not finding something right now doesn't mean it won't be found later.
