Let`s look at the reason St. Francis of Assisi became a monk. When he became sick on a military campaign, he had a vision of an angel telling him to become a holy man. There`s a few possible explanations for this vision: 1, he was so sick he was hallucinating, 2, he was crazy(unlikely given that he was an eloquent speaker later on), 3, he lied about it, or 4, it actually happened. This was just the first of many visions he had throughout his life. Concrete evidence? of course not. No evidence at all? No. If the evidence cannot be proven, it is not evidence. That is how science works. If you can prove it beyond reasonable doubt, it exists. If you put out wild theories with no proof. Like God existing… then it doesn't exist. Those are the facts. Nothing can be proven beyond reasonanble doubt. And note that absence of evidence =/= evidence of absence.
