I can understand why thiests need to dismiss all of the scientific evidence, not just some. Because if "god" created everything, and we prove that a tiny bit was not his work, then the whole deck of cards collapses... On the other hand, if right now, a man came to me and told me he was jesus, and proved it by walking on water and turning water into wine! I would say, nice one mate, pull the other one! My question is what proof do we athiests really want to be convinced? We will be sceptical (because that's what we do) to the point where nothing he can do will convince us.
EG; I say make it rain, it starts raining? I say, you cheeky bastard, you've got people in planes in the sky making it rain!
As to what it would take for me to believe in God(s), I simply don't know. However, if said God is supposedly as powerful and all-knowing as his fan club purports, then he/she certainly knows what would convince me, and as of yet I'm still waiting.
