I imagine it will be the same old shit we usually get.
what kind of evidence do you want? you want God to speak to you directly? to show you some miracle? to manifest things in front of you?
you need to understand our condition , God has given us a mind and God has given us the universe to see, even looking in the mirror is enough evidence
simple facts of life are evidence
for example every human being has a distinct fingerprint set, every human being has a distinct pattern in the eye, every human being has a distinct tooth pattern, every single human has a distinct tongue pattern
and even interesting even twins who are identical in every other way , have distinct fingerprints, and eye patterns and all the other thing is mentioned
the way God wants us to conclude belief n Him today is the way of science
int eh past God worked other ways, people used to practice magick and those kinds of arts and that was in a different time and different place , but now days God has given us the mind and the power to conceive the universe and to identify God through that
or to identify that a creator is behind it , however having said that miracles do still happen, people have cancers healed overnight, people find lost ones, people have prayers answered , people see amazing things in their hearts and in the world
but there is something you must understand and God says this in teh Quran
if the angels were to descend and to separate truth from falsehood , then at that moment owuld be judgement day and it would be to late to be saved
we are still here to be tested , to show who has faith, who finds truth who see this life for what it si
nobody is happy here that is a fact even those who have everything , celebrities have fame, power, money beauty and whatever they want, but what do they go on and end up doing? drugs? rehab? suicide
Jim Carrey said it perfectly he said "i wish everyone was rich and famous and had everything they wanted so that they can see that THIS is not he answer, this is not what we seek"
and we as human beings we all know , each and every one of us that we are searching for that ultimate happiness, we spend our lives looking for it, and we think sometimes that happiness is in money or fame or power or whatever else and we seek these things, and sometimes we end up getting them, and it always leads to us finding that this is not the answer and that it causes more problems then solutions
THAT is the purpose of life, THAT is the truth of God
