Dinosaur fossils also didn't have a guarantee of being found. It's all in the probability.

If you flip a fair coin 1000 times I guarantee it comes up heads at least once. If you set a cup on a table I guarantee it won’t pass through the table, even though both the glass and the table are mostly empty space.

Those things also are all in the probability.
