What would you consider to be evidence for God?

A miracle, to my understanding is not an occurrence that is just highly improbable or statistically unlikely. Another person's account of of a divine experience or miraculous event, is not something I would be able to consider.
If I were to witness something truly impossible happen with my own to eyes, I would be likely to consider there could be a force or forces operating outside  the laws of physics, nature, etc.

But then how would you know it's truly a miracle (as in impossible within the laws of physics) rather than just extremely improbable?
I considered that as I was writing the post. The answer is I don't know. I guess it would have to be a pretty impressive fuggin' miracle.

Correction: Extremely improbable wouldn't do it for me. What I considered was how would I know that hypothetical miracle wouldn't just be something that science has yet to explain, but still operates within the laws of physics and nature. Oops!
