Previously answered. Yes.
yes what?
Yes, there is evidence for the existence of virtual particles. If there weren't, the underlying theory would be much less widely accepted.
Evidence doesn't mean proof, and it doesn't mean a better theory might not come along later. But the theory is pretty solid, and certainly not something highly speculative (like string theory, for example).
