It seems to me that you have confused the definition of the word "proof" with the word "evidence."

evidence:
something which provides ground for belief or disbelief:
A thing or things helpful in forming a conclusion or judgment:
Plainly visible; to be seen:
your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief; "the evidence that smoking causes lung cancer is very compelling"
Evidence in its broadest sense includes anything that is used to determine or demonstrate the truth of an assertion.

And, no, I didn't ask a diety:
I asked Google.
