Yes. Something Christianity doesn't have with regards to any of its supposed miracles or other supernatural truths.
And you're wrong about your excessive polarization of evidence and proof because they are not completely unrelated. Both are used to "prove" something to some extent. It is merely that what we normally call "proof" is absolute proof that uses deductive reasoning.... but evidence still gives relative proof using inductive reasoning. Just because evidence doesn't prove anything absolutely doesn't mean it doesn't prove anything. It's supposed to bolster points, which does prove something to some extent. It at least relatively proves that X is more likely than not X.
But Christianity doesn't have that. It has a book with words written in it. It's evidence of nothing true and it proves nothing.
