Logic of "lack of proof"

Ask a Christian why they don't believe in evolution or the Big Bang and they will say "there's no proof".
Ask a Christian where the proof for God and creation is and they say "we don't need proof".

They then become "logical" by saying "you can't disprove it". Lack of proof does not constitute proof, it constitutes lack of proof, and, if anything, absurdity.

Doesn't this seem like an irrational reason to believe in something? I dare the mythology fanboys to challenge me on this one.
