Regarding your question about a solid historical evidence that men corrupted the Bible. The answer is NO. However we have much stronger convincing evidence which is the mistakes and contradictions in the Bible which confirm that it is not the Word of God.
1- The original Torah is the literal Word of God revealed to his Prophet Moses (peace be upon him−pbuh), whereas the books of the Bible are merely narratives or stories written in the third person, i.e. the sayings and deeds of the Prophets were written by historians and not by the Prophets themselves. For example, the book of DEUTERONOMY is one of the five books attributed to Prophet Moses (pbuh). If this book was really revealed to Prophet Moses (pbuh) or even written by him, how could it mention HIS DEATH:
And Moses the servant of the Lord DIED there in Moab, as the Lord had said. He BURIED HIM IN MOAB, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but TO THIS DAY NO-ONE KNOWS WHERE HIS GRAVE IS. MOSES WAS A HUNDRED AND TWENTY YEARS OLD WHEN HE DIED … (Deuteronomy 34:5-7)
2- The Gospel (injeel) revealed to Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was lost and many gospels were written. The church chose four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) and destroyed or banned the rest. Although these gospels include SOME FRAGMENTS of the original Gospel, it is very clear that none of them is the Gospel of Prophet Jesus (pbuh), because:
• All the four gospels as well as the rest of the Bible contain many contradictions and errors while the Gospel of Prophet Jesus (pbuh) which is the Word of God was free from contradictions and errors. Tell me if you want examples of these contradictions.
• These gospels are different accounts or reports of the life of Prophet Jesus (pbuh), written by men. They mention his birth, his alleged crucifixion and death, etc, WHICH CANNOT BE MENTIONED IN THE GOSPEL REVEALED TO PROPHET JESUS (PBUH) DURING HIS MISSION.
Therefore, Muslims do not believe in the writings of the followers of Prophet Jesus but rather believe in the Original Gospel (or good news) revealed to and preached by Prophet Jesus (pbuh) which is mentioned in the following verses:
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM. (Matthew 11:5)
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and BELIEVE THE GOSPEL. (Mark 1:14,15)
-----
So Prophet Jesus (pbuh) did not command people saying “ believe the gospels which will be written by Matthew, Luke, Mark, John and Paul, but rather preached the Gospel revealed to him and commanded people to believe it.
3- The Bible contains claims and fabrications which could not be from God. For example:
The Bible claims that Jacob Wrestled (fought) with God and overcame (defeated God) !!! (Genesis 32:28)
Furthermore, the Bible accuses the Prophets and Messengers of God of great sins, such as, CHEATING, ADULTERY, INCEST, BETRAYAL, WORSHIPING IDOLS AND BLASPHEMY.
