What would you consider to be evidence for God?

Given what is said, does anyone think that there is evidence that would convince them that God exists?

God has primary revealed himself to humanity in both the words of Scripture and the works of nature. Since God is the author of both, a worldview that harmonizes both of these two ‘books’ is possible. This is different than the interpretation of Scripture and the understanding of science which may not be in total agreement; in that case, future research is needed to resolve the differences. God also works through the consciousness. God’s standard of moral purity is indelibly embedded within the human spirit (lives forever) which is the reason the conscience reacts when a person breaks God’s law - even if a person’s experience and culture (or worldview) has managed to distort their conscience. A troubling question posed not just by atheists, but by many believers. What about those that haven’t access to the written word? Beyond nature and conscience, God uses special revelation - prayers, dreams, and possibly visions.
God is not reveal directly through the five senses. Here’s a hypothetical situation that I used before. - If a physical entity with the appearance of personhood were to materialize on the White House lawn and while saying “I’m God” (loud enough that it was recorded) levitated a foot above the ground, would that constitute proof that God is not hidden?
As the secret service approached, this entity asked one agent to place his hand onto the entity’s shoulder which the agent did, thus making the entity to disappear. Later, in the briefing, the agent said the shoulder garment felt ‘velvety’, anything else you noticed? ‘Yes, as we approached this thing, there was an aroma of fruit, the closer we got the more pungent it became, much like orange blossoms’.
Atheist Credo: An universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
