ABSOLUTELY FOR!
But evil doesn't exist either. So that's two out in one hit.

If there is NO evidence for God then the existence of evil wouldn't be evidence for God. That's pretty clear cut isn't it??

Evil is a judgment that is specific to the point of view of the one passing the judgment, or deciding that the action constitutes evil. It does not exist outside of the mind of the one judging the action as evil.
Others may agree who hold a similar point of view but this does not make it real. Someone viewing the situation from a separate or opposite point of view will see the situation differently.
Often viewing the same action as a good or positive turn of events.
Evil is the name we give to things that we wish had not happened, and to the people who do these things.
Good is the name we give to things that we like. What is good for one group may be considered bad to some other group who sees things from a divergent point of view.
Evil is only a thought in our minds, unless we fool ourselves into thinking it is external and that it may seek to do us harm. This is a trick that we play on ourselves, no more no less.

Gen.3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Man has become as one of US, to know good and evil.
Gen.1:26;
God said,"Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness.
John 17:3,5,24; Jesus was there. Job 38:4-7 all the angels were there.
Col.1:15-17; Rev.3:14;
Jesus first creation created in image of God, by him all is made.
Gen.8:21; God said,"The imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth."
JUST BECAUSE EVIL EXIST NO ONE HAS TO DO EVIL AS JESUS DID NOT

Evidence of the existence of man made in God's image...

Neither. Evil simply reflects the belief system of the
person using the word. People of different religions
would obviously use the word differently. Christians
might call some Satanic worshipers acts "evil" and vice
versa!!!
So, really it just defines the person using the word.

Evil is the consequence of God's sentient moral beings, created with free will, deciding to ignore God and do things their way.

Evil as a metaphysical entity does not exist. Actions are helpful, hurtful, or neutral. Some are a combination: helpful for some but hurtful to others.

Question has been asked and answered many times. See the link below.
Short answer, it is not a proof against the God of Scripture.

The fact that evil is evident doesn't prove that God isn't there. It shows that the devil, also mentioned in the bible, is there. So there isn't any contradiction biblically.
