Evidentialism can't support itself so I don't see how it can be justified.
If we adapt evidentalism, then we are defining it differently and so not talking about the same thing.
I don't see how any belief can be justified without the infinite regress of the question begging fallacy.
I find some things more probable than others for inductive reasons based on my experience ("I think therefore I am"). Other than my own awareness and logic, things can, at best, only be induced and not deduced. It's all down to what I find plausible and outside logic I can't say I'm right.
