The lack of evidence is not [objective] evidence of absence, and positive arguments should not be based on a lack of evidence.
Pretty much all Theories and hypotheses are based on being falsified based on positive objective evidence, and not the lack of evidence on the contrary.
The problem is more of an issue in the Theology of Religions and the scripture that supports their beliefs.
An example of a real historical problem involving the Bible is when was the Pentateuch compiled and written. The positive evidence based on known texts, linguistics, early known history of the Hebrews, and archaeological evidence, is that it was compiled and edited between 700 and 200 BCE.
The main challenge is that there could be evidence that has not been found yet, and the appeal to scripture citing Moses as the author. The challenge is I must come up with positive evidence that it was not written earlier.
I believe the following is relevant:
SHIFTING THE BURDEN OF PROOF
The burden of proof is always on the person making an assertion or proposition. Shifting the burden of proof, a special case of
argumentum ad ignorantium, is the fallacy of putting the burden of proof on the person who denies or questions the assertion being made. The source of the fallacy is the assumption that something is true unless proven otherwise.
