the bible is but one book written for spiritual purposes
there are other ancient text written in hebrew
not to mention all the egyptian texts
it seems to me holy writings are a part of all cultures and they seem to convey a similar message theme

This answer is about as close to evidence as you're going to get without searching for any.
When the Polio virus was plaguing America, did the scientists not bother to look for a cure based on the lack of evidence? Peoples separation from God in many ways has been the plague of this world.
Evidence has to be sought after in order to be found.
