Have you been to the milk shop before? YES / NO
If YES you already have evidence that the shop is real and at least existed at one point in time.
How can you know it is still there? No evidence suggests that conditions have changed since the last observation confirming this observational reality.
If NO you can test for the milk shop's existence. Should the milk shop not be there you also have evidence.
If you presume the milk shop is there, but have never actually been to the milk shop, and only have faith that the milk shop exists with no other evidence in support of your assumption, you are not acting rationally or within the parameters under which science operates. Such is the creationists position.
