You need several pieces of evidence to prove a hypothesis. Each individual piece of evidence may not be enough — on its own — to prove the assertion. A proof comprises all the pieces of evidence taken together.

| Introduction (from Wikipedia) | Evidence in its broadest sense includes everything that is used to determine or demonstrate the truth of an assertion. | When all the evidence combined conclusively shows the truth of an assertion, it is called proof. |
| Proves the assertion | An individual piece of evidence may not conclusively prove an assertion. | By definition, a proof establishes the truth of an assertion. |
