Peter, the evidence for the birth, baptism, marriage, death, and burial would be placed in a source for that information. The events, listed below the birth, etc., are other informative things that you would find IN the sources, and you'd attach a source to those, as well. The same source might have a bunch of information and, therefore, might be attached to numerous things. So, for example, and obituary might give the person's birthdate, deathdate, burial date, marriage date, as well as information about his education, occupation, children, hobbies, etc. You'd attach that obituary source to ALL of those things...

If I have evidence of a birth or death (birth/death certificate), christening or burial (church record) is that event recorded using the + (plus sign) to the far right of the fields for date and place? I was putting all that stuff down in the events list below. Please advise. I'm really looking forward to getting my Legacy Deluxe v. 4 manual. I hope it clears up things like this.
