Even evidence might not be showing you what you think. Eg if you fund 10 studies in support of, er, say cats being dangerous to humans. 2 might find that to be true, 2 find that false, and 6 remain neutral. You can leave the 8 you that don't support what you want to show unpublished. You can then fund more studies that build on the 2 you like. Rinse and repeat. Pretty soon, driven by funding alone, you will have lots of 'evidence' that caters to your viewpoint. Is that science? Unfortunately, funding determines scientific reality.
