Here are some things that would, to me, would cause me to take the idea of gods existence a bit more seriously:
- people being healed of illnesses that are normally not curable (like amputees) in ways that are completely inexplainable, with clear evidence. Healings are often offered as evidence, but they are always either failing to meet these standards.
- prophecies that are clear and very specific that come true would certainly grab my attention. religious books are filled with vague prophesies, and a lot of them still manage to fail.
- a religious book written long ago with amazing knowledge that people could not possibly have had. Not the case for our religious books.
- if people around me really were transformed by there religion, if they really heard the holy spirit instead of just imagining that to be the case, well, that would have been interesting.
- seeing visions and hearing voices would make me worried about my mental health, but I could imagine situations that I would take these serious. for example if these reveal things that I could not possibly know that cannot be explained in another way, like something big that is going to happen the next day.
- etc
I feel like I am very generous here. I think it is very hard to come up with this evidence, just because it does not seem to be there.
