What would I consider to be evidence for God? Well it depends on what God, doesn't it? If there was suddenly a video recording of a giant creature rising from the sea with male torso holding a trident in his hands and fish lower body I wouldn't think it was evidence for God Adoni, now wouldn't I? Or evidence for monkey-god Hanuman would I guess be a sudden appearance of giant banana in the sky and perhaps rain of coconuts - or is it too racist toward monkeys?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
