No one takes a picture of me - does that make me not real?

The absense of evidence is not evidence of absense.

What IS evidence of absence? Photos showing something not there?

True but at some point, your skepticism has got to kick in. I read cryptozoology stuff sometimes for pleasure but take most of it with a huge grain of salt. I don't anticipate many of these creatures being found, other than the thylacine. Big difference between them and a bigfoot - we know that thylacines existed. Australia and New Guinea are big enough and undeveloped enough to hope that some isolated population of thylacines survived.

He uses the same fallacious argument to argue against existence of the Creator.
