Why is it legit to deny the existence of something just because we lack evidence for it?

An astronomer living in 1634 could have imagined something with such a massive grav. field that not even light couldnt escape. The astronomer community would have rejected that idea totally. But nowadays we know that black holes exist.

Bring to rational people scientific evidences about something, quantify it, describe it, and they will certainly accept its existence. But this does not mean that they will accept it as their master and just prey and give their lives for it (if this is about some "god").

NOPE. Black holes were implied by Newtonian gravity and Newtonian corpuscular theory of light. And they were discussed. They only stopped being discussed because Newton's theory went out when the wave theory took its place for a while. But in 1634, black holes were indeed hypothesized.
