It's a priori impossible to provide material evidence of immaterialism because that would be a contradiction in terms. Immaterialism is auto-debunked from the outset. There not only isn't a such thing as immaterial evidence: there can't be... because we are material beings. Only immaterial beings could receive immaterial evidence.
Unless, of course, it was discovered that we are immaterial beings from the beginning. We're all part of God's mind or something. But how could we discover that we are immaterial beings? If we are, what's a material being? Nothing is meaningfully immaterial if nothing is meaningfully material. There has to be a distinction there for either to mean anything at all.
The whole idea of immaterialism is completely doomed from the beginning.
Call it material, call it immaterial, there's one stuff. It doesn't actually matter what you call it. Monism is true and dualism is bogus, and that's that.
