No, no evidence and there's not even a halfway decent reason to believe.

No, Same reason I dont believe in unicorns...
No. Should I? If so, why? For what reason?
You guys got big, big and unrealistic expectations.
Why should God manifest in you when you are not interested in Him? Would you manifest to someone who doesn't give a damn about you? Get real guys.

I find it very hard to know when someone is being sarcastic and when they are serious on this topic. Poes law, I guess.

In many of the holy books or ancient fables, god had no compunction about showing him/herself to those who showed no interest or even were antagonistic. Even people who had no expectations, realistic or otherwise. But now... nothing. And all of the hand-waving and excuse-making and rules-changing is insufficient to cover for such a marked (and very convenient) difference.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I am very interested in God (just don't see any reason to believe the dude is real). I suspect a lot of other people here are also interested in God and the religions that assume it/she/he exists. Otherwise, we'd be like the vast majority of atheists who just get on with their lives without participating on forums where God and religion are the major topics.
What religions have to do with God is just behind me.
Religions are interpretation of the original message that some spiritual person had. The Bible has been written ages ago and in the mean time has been written and rewritten countless of times in order to please the intermediaries (priests) agenda. And so the Coran and all other religious books. The Christians have the original message as the Talibans got the original message but this however is totally irrelevant to understand how the system works. The only way to understand whether God exist or not is to have the desire to establish a relationship with that unknown entity that make you feel like improving your life day after day all the rest is totally irrelevant. 
Yeah god is supposed to be unchanging, so why the change from appearing all the time, setting people on fire, wrestling with people.... to bugger all? Weird.
