Do you mean that, without strong evidence that we don't have, we should assume dualism, or that we have strong evidence for dualism?

If it's the second one, can you give me an example of such a piece of evidence?

The second position.

An example of the evidence is the two-way causal connection between your inner subjective experiences and the external universe.

How is that better explained by dualism?

Indeed. Two way interaction uis as well or better explained by physicalism.
