What would you consider to be evidence for God?

One issue I'd have here is that this implies that we can conceive of everything. In other words, if we can't conceive of it, it can't exist.
But even ignoring that, and I accept that definition, there's a second problem. I could say the character of the Abrahamic holy books, Yahweh/Jehovah/Allah, is in fact a higher being, but since I can conceive of something greater than Yahweh/Jehovah/Allah, that character as described is not 'God'.
