I think most of the misunderstanding about an evidentialist thesis is thinking that "evidence" is only empirical evidence. Supposedly I must be able to point to physical proof of evidentialism but this is obviously impossible. Understanding however evidence as really being experiences then I can support evidentialism without contradiction.
No?
No. Your experiences don't serve as evidence unless you can share them with others.
