However, I do not think that if the exact gene that causes something is not specified, this proves that the something is not genetic. All it proves is that if it is genetic, we have not yet found the gene.

I agree. But our genes surely aren't programmed to build us crooked. In my opinion, existing evidence that supports one hypothesis beats hands down yet-to-be-found hypothetical evidence that may, if found, support another hypothesis.
