The nature of evidence

RE: The nature of evidence
(May 1, 2016 at 8:19 pm)Wryetui Wrote: 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 in this case means: substantiated, documented, tangible proof.
Saying it is so, does not MEAN it is so. That is not evidence of proof. It is, however, evidence of one's opinion, which is not what is acceptable here. You want people to believe that your god is the right god, submit objective, tangible evidence to make your claim.

You've no doubt read enough of the threads here to have the understanding of what is required for proof of the existence of any god. Stop playing dumb. We've seen that before and it's tiring when a newbie comes in and tries using the same old boring bag of tricks.
