+1 on the sober part, Ivy

Well, rexbecca, let's assume that the god of the Bible does actually exist outside of time and space like apologists say he does. Would it convince you, if we could hop in the starship Enterprise and fly outside of our universe, bumping into God's nose in the process, that he existed? It's descending into absurdity, of course, but for us to remain intellectually honest, we have to assume that if he did exist, we could prove his existence.
As Ivy said, if a lesser, not all-powerful god or goddess suddenly popped into view in front of me and a friend (in a sober state), I would be far more inclined to believe that they existed. Whether they exist in a parallel dimension with access to ours is irrelevant. Assuming anything beyond what we can observe naturally or with instruments does exist, there has to be a way to prove it.
