Id say multiple confirmable instances of showing itself or making physics bend in ways the demonstrate a God multiple times.
Not just once or I may think i'm crazy or it was a freak of the normal nature. "Love is hot, Truth is molten!" |

RE: What evidence would convince you of the existence of god?
Thanks for this, Phaedrus. You've got me to thinking.
My mind kept refuting answers until it backed itself into a corner. I have but one simple answer: If God were to make me also God, then....I *might* believe. I can't say for certain, but if I were made omniscient as well, then at least I would know for certain whether the being that just bestowed me with this gift were also the genuine God, what he intends, why, etc. I would also need to be made omnipotent or the deal's off. He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy! -Brian's mum |

Shit, I ain't even sure what evidence could convince me of the existence of me.

RE: What evidence would convince you of the existence of god?
The same evidence of things we already know to exist. God would have to exist then the evidence of that existence could be clearly obtained.
There is no evidence that can be shown for a non existent being That being would first need to exist then evidence can be presented. It's like asking what evidence would need to be given for you to believe that you have six arms or that the moon is really made of cheese Insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results |

God exists because my arm is just long enough to wipe my ass!
That is unquestionable proof right there! |

Discuss,argue,or simply ignore. Personal abuse is a cop out. |
