Nothing would or could ever convince me. And you don't do Matt's answer justice... that isn't his full answer. This is his full answer:

Matt Dilahunty Wrote:The "What would change your mind" question came up again in e-mail. I've provided an answer many times, but the following version might be worth thinking about:
"I don't know what would change my mind, and I don't need to know. In fact, it would be arrogant for me to presume that I could even come up with an answer, because that presumes that I'm sufficiently knowledgeable that I can tell the difference between 'a vastly superior technology that is beyond my understanding' and 'the powers of a god'.
But, if there is a god, that god should know exactly what it would take to change my mind...and that god should be capable of doing whatever it would take. The fact that this hasn't happened can only mean one of two things:
1. No such god exists.
2. Whatever god exists doesn't care to convince me, at this time.
In either case, it's not my problem and there's nothing I can do about it. Meanwhile, all of those believers who think that there is a god who does want me to know that he exists - are clearly, obviously, undeniably... wrong."
From his Facebook. Fucking awesome as fuck, IMO.
What do you guys think?
I added the bold just now.
Nothing would or could change my mind except God who could only do it with some sort of mind probe that forced me to believe he wasn't an alien regardless of if he (or she or it) was or not.
