Most of the time you don't get physical evidence--especially for events. So, the best evidence possible is often going to be testimonial evidence.
No, I'd say that events which really happen typically leave behind some kind of physical evidence of themselves. Much of our written history, for instance, has been either supported or refuted by archaeological evidence. Eye witness accounts can be supported or refuted by forensic evidence. Stopping at testimony is not a path to truth.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
