Not where I am. It also doesn't turn up anything in Google.
If I'm gonna be real, it's not something most anglos would come up with. The word "evidence" evokes a lab or a courtroom where assertions without evidence are taboo. It come across as incredibly irreverent because it evokes a set of norms and then immediately violates them.
The original phrase is "no tengo pruebas, pero tampoco tengo dudas" or "no tengo pruebas, ni dudas", so rather than "evidence" I should have used "proofs"
It's a very old phrase, you don't have it in english?

I really love it and am going to start using it.

yeah im also going to use this in english. it's the perfect sentence.
"I can't prove it, but I know it's true"
I like the more concise version better, which I would personally localize as, "I have neither proof nor doubt." Love it.
