It's kind of funny and sad reading threads like this. One side tries to use something like this to demonstrate that God exists. The other side uses whatever is found (or not) to demonstrate that the believers are a bunch of kooks.
Think of it this way. My 12-year-old son knows I exist. I see him on a regular basis. We talk and do things together.
Someone may try to prove (or disprove) my existence by searching for the old 1961 Dodge Lancer that I drove in college. (that was the coolest car!) They would likely find the records of the car, and may even find the rusted out shell in a junkyard.
To my son, this would be foolishness. He knows me. He doesn't have to lean on second-hand evidence to prove or disprove my existence.
It's the same with God. He can be known directly. I know Him. He's awesome. He's changed my life.
So, if you want to prove I exist, don't go looking for that old Lancer. It's the same with God.
No matter what the expedition finds (or doesn't find) my relationship with God isn't impacted. I know He's real, because I know him
