I conclude that this order has to come from somewhere, and since order can only bee seen by intelligent minds, there has to be a superior intelligent mind that put this order where it is now, this is my conclusion.

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?
1. Evidence is a demonstrable observation or fact that leads to a particular conclusion.
2. That's going to vary quite a bit from person to person. The right word from the right individual might do it for some. 'I am real--God' spelled out in galaxies would probably do the trick for most skeptics. Probably most of us fall somewhere in between. For me, one supernatural thing would be enough to send me back to the drawing board, it wouldn't prove God, but it would prove that something supernatural is possible.
