well, one piece of evidence would be from seismology. It shows waves travelling through different matter (fluid, solid) at different rates.
The Earth's magnetic field indicates the existence of a conducting metal core.
It's acceleration of gravity, size and mass indicate that Earth is denser at the core.
Volcanic activity proves the presence of molten basalt layers below the crust.
