What proof would it take for me to believe in god?

What proof would it take for me to believe in god?
Well to be honest I see this ask on this forum a lot and simply I have very low requirements. It is the same evidence I would require for proof that you have a boyfriend PR girlfriend.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

My answer: I don't know what it would take for me to believe in God. However, if there is a God, he certainly knows exactly what it would take for me to believe. I'll be waiting until his does that.

I don't ask for overwhelming evidence such as God must show up in front of me right now!. Some considerable tiny bit of physical proof that could demonstrate there is something outside time, space and matter, most likely a god. That would be enough for me. It would have to be testable over and over again, not just a mere speculation, something scientists could verify, just like they can verify all other hypothesis.

Scientific evidence would definetely be enough for me. You might be able to convince me without scientific evidence, but I'm not holding my breath. Also, emotional "evidence" will never convince me.

The kind of proof that is not reliant upon fallible faith.

It's a great question.... but as an atheist I think I would see it as amazing and then wait for science to catch up and explain it!

Anything that is not based on wishful thinking + confirmation bias (see: feeling of the "numinous") or on blind faith would be good enough.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

For me it would have to be something that not only I can verify, but should be just as verifiable by any other person.

The reason I stated as the same proof it would take for me to believe you have a girlfriend is because A, I don't have a really high burden of proof, and B is because Christians remind me often of that guy in high school that supposedly had a super hot girlfriend that somehow never seemed to materialize.
