What would you consider to be evidence for God?
RE: What would you consider to be evidence for God?
The strongest evidence for God's existence for me has been the persistent reality of the Holy Spirit manifesting miraculously through day to day leading, prophecies, supernatural occurrences. For instance, I prayed about changing my name to my birth-name, Joseph and a prophet prophesied over me "Your name is Joseph". I have seen probably thousands of things like this. Often, when I read the scripture, the Holy Spirit shows me specific verses in the Bible which reveal the supernatural character of Christianity.

The authority of the Catholic Church for 2000 years has been based on miracles. I have seen healings and seen objects physically translate. The way that people know a teaching is authentic is through the miraculous.

Alvin Plantinga calls this "properly basic belief" in his book "Warranted Christian Belief". These supernatural occurances are properly basic from a foundationalist standpoint epistemologically because they are as certain as any other experiences. I can vouch for this teaching as being sound and in tune with the miraculous character of Christianity.
