You say that as if everyone agrees on the scientific sense of the term,
which of course they don't.  Even reputable scientists disagree on what
constitutes evidence.  I know you're willing to insult anyone with whom
you disagree.  But the fact remains that standards of evidence differ
depending on the context of the discussion, the domain of inquiry, etc.

Evidence in, say, cosmology or evolution is very different from evidence
in, say, biology or physics.  And that's without leaping out into the
softer sciences.
