I cant think of one thing that would prove the existance of god.
This is at least partly down to god being a rather nebulous concept, with as many different definitions as believers.

The only thing that would convince me is if he showed up and bitch-slapped me with other people were watching. That way I could ask them after if God really did assault me.

But how would they kow it was god and not just some guy with a beard and a robe?
If some power was displayed how do you know it isnt just david blaine?
If knowledge that man knows not is imparted how do you know it isnt some trickster alien? ever seen V.
If you have some vision how do you know you are not going mad OR eaten something that caused hallucinations?
In short there is nothing that could be ascribed to god that couldnt have a more likely explaination, unless someone knows of something,(which I doubt)

Ok so going off of the definition that evidence is a testable piece of information that demonstrates the truth of a claim
I have evidence that God answers prayers
I have evidence that God guides the events in my life
I have evidence that God is morally superior to me
Which would you like to talk about first. All of this is contingent on truth being as true as is knowable of course; not absolute truth.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Lots of guitar players fuck, Min. I think it would be interesting to hear about the non-fucking guitar player, especially if he was a she and she got preggers while riffing to Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
