I would certainly reexamine my beliefs about God if it were proven that consciousness didn't depend upon bodily states. However, it does not follow that if consciousness can exist independently from the body therefore God exists, so I would not immediately believe in God if I were to find that out.
I'll give you this though, if it was proven tomorrow that consciousness exists outside of the body, then I would believe that consciousness exists outside of the body.
PS: I answered your question, but you didn't answer mine.
Let "god" heal 1,000 amputees, and I'll believe.

In the Bible there were Those who were able to turn their rods into serpents:
(Old Testament | Exodus 7:11 - 12)
11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
So much the same as you, I would believe that they did it.
If it happened then, why not now?
