My understanding of the word "evidence" seems to differ from almost everyone else's. I thought "evidence" meant any empirical data that increases the chance of a hypothesis or theory being true. Such evidence need not make a hypothesis likely. The evidence might, for example, increase the likelihood of a hypothesis being true from 1% to 2%.
I also specifically don't think arguments are evidence. Arguments are employed to reason something through, but they are not evidence as I conceive it.
Finally, evidence isn't just confined to scientific evidence. For example, any personal experiences of a phenomenon are evidence for its existence.
But, as I said, everyone else seems to employ a different conception of the word "evidence". They appear to think it means scientific proof, and paradoxically, that reasoning is evidence!
