It is not about evidence. It is basic mathematics. There was no year zero. Zero is nothing, so you cannot give it as a value to anything. A year is something, so it cannot be numbered zero. After 1 BC came 1 AD not Zero. It is just like the last day of one month is immediately followed by the first day of the next month. There is no day zero in between. In the same way, there was no year zero between 1 BC and 1 AD. So basic mathematics and common sense will tell you that after 1 BC came 1 AD.
