evidence, testimony . . .: somewhere in between 証明（しょうめい: proof） and 証拠 （しょうこ: physical evidence）. You'd typically use 証 when you're talking about evidence of god such as miracles. Or you'd challenge someone "You say you're honest and give to charity, but do you have any evidence of this?" Unlike 証拠、 証 does not have to be physical, it can be verbal.
