The nature of evidence

[bennyboy]

Hello.

I have listened and witnessed that, when debating about God, the main questions that is present within the atheist party is that they do not believe in God because there is no evidence for Him. I am interested but also confused, because I need to understand what "evidence" really means, certainly what for some people is enough "evidence" for others is not even close to that, so, my questions are:

1. What does the word "evidence" mean?
2. What kind of said evidence would be necessary for you to actually believe there is a God?

Evidence is that which will confirm a hypothesis or belief for one even if he DOESN'T already believe it.  As for the nature of that evidence-- that's your problem.  You might as well ask me what evidence I require for proof of Boogledyboo.  If you want me to believe something exists, then demonstrate its existence.
