If it (appeal to ignorance) worked, then it(appeal to ignorance)would be proof of these claims. It (appeal to ignorance) is not proof of these claims. Therefore, it (appeal to ignorance) doesn't work.
Either the entity exists or the entity doesn't exist. You want to discuss criteria for proof.
Discussing criteria for proof could be another topic.
