The point generally made by believers is that skeptics have ruled out the supernatural in advance or at least raised the burden of proof to an unobtainable level. As such the very nature of the thing we are trying to prove serves as the reason given for not accepting evidence of it. It's a no win situation.
Well you can't both claim something is supernatural and think that the evidence required wouldn't be supernatural.
Of course the kind of personal experiences theists speak of is not valid evidence. That's terrible evidence of anything.
