To mankind in stone age, there's not a slide evidence that elections exist. yet electrons exist long time ago even before the existence of the stone age men.
Yes, but the question isn't "Is there a probability that some natural force/partical/sub-atomic particle exists?" - I'm sure there are many natural things for which we haven't the slightest evidence for, nor a general probablity of it existing.
But, I'm sure scientist in 200 years will be discovering things that our generation of scientist (amazing as they maybe ) haven't even thought of to look for yet. But this logical prediction is not irrational when dealing with nature (like your electron example).
However, it doesn't apply to something supernatural.
What the "supernatural" actually is, has yet to be defined with a concept that we can all understand. Therefore no means to investigate it are available.
If we can't define it, and we can't investigated, then what exactly are you claiming there is probability for exactly?
"Is there a probability that God exists?" - Well, what exactly do you mean by God...?
