Read Richard Dawkins "The Greatest Show on Earth"
He addresses this exact idea and explains that we are not able to do it at the moment, but that does not automatically preclude us from ever doing it.
Occam's argument:
When competing hypotheses are equal in other respects, the principle recommends selection of the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions and postulates the fewest entities while still sufficiently answering the question. It is in this sense that Occam's razor is usually understood.
Just because one argument is not proven, it does not automatically entitle, or prove, the opposing argument.
In other words, if we cannot do it now, does not mean it cannot be done, or didn't happen.
