If a supernatural being appears who can create and destroy planets at whim, gives away free food and free energy, then the existing believers would be the first in line to convert.
Well, thanks Aoi. That's the first scenario put forth since I started this thread. But creation/destruction of planets would require major scientific testing. And I suppose if some being appeared on Earth and told everyone if you pray to me for food/energy you will get it, that would be a big step in converting many. But also likely is the more fundamentalist parts of different religions would claim this is an evil spirit offering gifts for your soul.
