Learn English.  No evidence of X does not mean X does not exist.  It means
we just don't know whether X exists or not.

20 years ago, the planets we now know about certainly existed.  Yet it
is still valid to say that we had no evidence of them 20 years ago.

Same as now.  Extraterrestial life may exist, or it may not exist, right
now.  We have no evidence of it.  If we do discover such life in the 
future, it does not mean it suddenly popped into existence just because
I said "no evidence".

And _because_ we have no evidence of extraterrestial life, neither does
Ralph.  That's why Ralph's claim is hogwash, not because it doesn't exist.
