As far as I can see, "evidence" is nothing more than an instance of something that exists as a phenomenon, appearance, sensation, event - that sort of thing.

Your preference suggests that you hold with the idea that instances of experience are (or at least have the capacity to be) totally unique and unrelated, that they don't necessarily form any pattern. This would suggest surprise when you wake up in the morning to find you are in the same place where you fell asleep, or that the faces of the people you recognise belong to the same people as they did yesterday, or that grass remains on the whole, green.
You may prefer to be constantly surprised at these things, but it would certainly be more practical to make some assumptions that help life become slightly less random and episodic.
