Yes, 4 is controversial, OFC. But again, nobody is interested in pursuing a God who isn't willing to let his existence known to everyone. And if God isn't willing to let his existence known to everyone, then no one will derive an argument in favor of his existence (God is all-powerful and can prevent this from happening).

If you really mean this, then you're no longer an evidentialist.

That's kind of the point of my thread: revelation and sensus divinatus are not new arguments. By contrast, all new arguments fail if my argument above is true.
