Okay, let's play "Why haven't we seen unicorns on earth?"  It's because we're looking in the wrong place:  they've got gills, and they live in the deep oceans.  Either that or there are only a very few left, and they're tended (and kept hidden) by a secretive sect of religious fanatics in a remote area of Turkey.  Heck, I could go on all day.

Now you're just being silly.  If your first hypo were true, we'd be talking about something other than unicorns (narwhals come to mind, though they don't have gills).  As for your second hypo, you can't just make stuff up.  The reason has to be something that's part of the ordinary understanding of the thing.  God's general lack of physical manefestation is part of the story.  Turkish unicorn herders is not.  Now we might have a closer case with sea monsters, which are pretty regularly sighted, and which are reputed to live deep in various inland seas and to go long periods without any sightings at all.  I think sea monsters are more likely than God.[/quote]
