The search was so thorough, there could never be any new evidence about what Adam had did before the custody that could be presented in the future.
Belief in absolute, dogmatic claims on the lack of evidentiary value of possible future observations leads to unfalsifiable conclusions.
Eve is irrational to conclude that her inability to conceive of a possible future observation to change her mind means that it is impossible for such an observation to happen.
As an aside, I believe you can make a more sciency argument with recent cosmological theories. There is something about a future state of the universe where all our current evidence for the Big Bang would cease to be observable, and all we could observe was our own galaxy.

Yes I could. I chose not to. It is a balance between suspension of disbelieve and narrative simplicity. Moreover, I am not sure how much credence should I put on recent cosmological theories that they will not be updated the future, making my narrative set up obsolete. I also do not want to burden my reader with familiarity of cosmological theories.
