To the OP, give it up. No evidence would suffice to convince 90% of the AF members.
But not too terribly careful. God if you exist please demonstrate that to the world by anyone of the following:
1) Turn me into a pillar of salt. I'm sure the sudden appearance of a pillar of salt frozen in the act of typing would raise some eye brows.
2) Strike me down with lightning. Be sure to hit just me inside. That might do it.
You will note over next few days and weeks that I'm still here and typing.
I have certain knowledge that there is invisible purple nothing in my basement. It does not exist in any dimension we can perceive. It does not affect the dimensions we can perceive in any testable or predictable way. Nothing it does cannot be explained by things that naturally occur which we can detect.
I know this invisible purple nothing exists because I've opened my mind and heart to it and I feel very much that knowledge of it's existence makes my life meaningful. And yes I'm really certain that though it is invisible, it is purple.
What evidence would the OP accept to prove it exists or doesn't exist?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
