That means anything in children books can be counted as evidence and every story can be as well. This is not evidence, this is the complete opposite to science and logic.
So NO! Personal experiance cannot be held as evidence for god unless your willing to accept that the toothfairy can exist due to evidence of dreaming.
Personal experiance is not science, it's not logical and it holds no ground.
Personal experience is used as evidence all the time in court cases, because it is reasonable to do so. It is both reasonable and logical.
How do you recommend people tell the difference between real experience and what's just imagination/hallucination? If people experience other imaginary things and think they're real, do you just think in that case it isn't really real because it isn't what you believe? And it isn't the God you believe in? You just take the bible's word for it that if you imagine stuff related to that, then it must be real. But if its related to any other kinds of the supernatural and/or other Gods, or paranormal things etc, you assume its nonsense?
If not how DO you recommend people tell the difference between real experience and what's just imagination/hallucination? I'd like to understand.
