"if you can't prove something, then it isn't true" is an obvious logical fallacy.

Extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary evidence, however, is not. It's the foundation of the scientific method.

There's an obvious lack of logical rigor to jump from someone pointing that out to framing it as proving an untruth.

A is true if evidence B supports it ≠ A is only true if evidence B supports it.

But you can only claim A is true if B. Otherwise you're just blowing smoke around an unknown.
