I've searched through many dictionaries but I seem not to be able to find the above phrase idiomatic. Is it the right collocation? Does forceful evidence equal solid evidence?
Thanks
 
Does 'forceful evidence' equal 'solid evidence'?

Yes, it does. The first dictionary I looked at seems to cover it:

forceful

adj
  • powerful
  • persuasive or effective
(Collins)
 
It's an odd combination of words to me.
 
It's definitely not a common collocation and sounds odd to me too. Clear/strong/conclusive/hard/overwhelming, etc, would work for me.
 
"Compelling", also.
