What would evidence of a God even look like?

[CapnAwesome]

I'd probably need some independent confirmation from someone else. Like I said, it's about the same standard of evidence that I have for the existence of deer or lizards or whatever.

But even if you ran into a being that had the power to actually do that, how do you conclude 1: That is a "god" (what is your definition?) and 2: That is "The God" which set the universe into motion?

It would be close enough for me. No, I wouldn't have absolute proof that that exact being is the one that created the universe, but in that sense you don't have absolute proof of anything. That type of hyper-skepticism is as stupid as not having any skepticism at all. How do you know that deer or dogs are real? My burden of proof for them is satisfied and my burden of proof for God is not.
