Not every disciple needed to see the holes in Jesus' hands. It is possible to get to a point where you say...OK I think I have enough evidence now to make a decision. And the weight of evidence persuades on balance.
The alternative could be an endless "court case" where defence and prosecution spend all day saying...that's not evidence/yes it is/no it's not/is too/is not.
The suggestion that "...William Lane Craig claims that he has no need for evidence.." is dubious.
No further evidence perhaps.
Or no scientistic, empirical, God-under-a-microscope type evidence perhaps.
But I simply dont think that it can be properly said of someone like him that he has no need for evidence.
