If not, what other better word can be used in the place of evidence as a verb? In probabilistic terms, evidence increases the probability that a proposition holds, relative to its value without such evidence, whereas proof raises the probability to certainty. A presumption is made before the proper evidence or authority is manifest.
Reading this you should make a pause between not and evidence or emphasize is not. Two cans of coffee, 3 loaves of bread. There is not given evidence.
Is it fine to used evidence as verb? Whether it is too archaic to use is a personal view. Both a presumption and an assumption may be made at the same time and persist for the same time. I'm wondering if there's a word for the situation where someone who disbelieves or dismisses ideas with lots of strong evidence (apparently due to failing to meet their standard),.
The containers are countable but not the contents.the ' weights of evidence' would be. Evidence can be a verb; I find evidence can be. Evident cannot be, so as evident by is wrong, possibly an eggcorn.
4 bottles of wine, and so on. This was previously addressed in the question, is 'evidence'. The proof = evidence meaning is the primary sense given in all the 6 online dictionaries i've checked in.
