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.

I have seen a magician "saw a lady in half."  Yet I have not even the slightest temptation to believe that a miracle occurred.

My question for you is this: how are you going to know that the "miracle" you witness isn't just a trick, a con job, to sucker you into believing some drivel?

Also, given the history of people "lying for a worthy cause," there are countless Christians who would be ready to do such a thing, if they were skilled enough to do it.
That's why I said it would take a big fuggin' miracle to convince me. Something indisputable. We are talking hypotheticals here. Smile
