Evidence is only evidence if it is evident to others. God tapping Jenny on the shoulder and saying "Hi" isn't evidence unless it's observed by someone else. And, even then, that's only evidence of someone/thing interacting with her, not of your god. That requires much more evidence, evidence which must eliminate other possibilities from being the most likely explanation.
As I said, if Jenny were to be taken up into heaven by Jesus for a three-hour tour, you would not believe anything she said upon her return.
You wouldn't read her book, and you wouldn't go to see the movie.
If Jenny got that three hour tour, but couldn't take the rest of the world on a return visit, Jenny would be asking many questions more medical than religious. Which is really just a way of saying what Kevin said all over again.
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.
