Please give me evidence for God.
#1
Please give me evidence for God.
I don't care if it's Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, whoever. I want some evidence. I'm not particularly fond of anecdotes or eyewitnesses. Nonetheless if you post it I will look at it, but it is very unlikely that I will take its word for it.

Please leave me sources and evidence that whoever wrote it is a reliable source of information and can easily be taken seriously. Please also leave how they came to this conclusion and what evidence they saw.

Also any evidence AGAINST a god is appreciated as well.

If I told you you had to three things "X,Y,Z" Would you do those three things if God Himself provided said 'proof?'

I'm not sure if I am fully understanding your question. Although at the end you say if God himself provided proof, please give it to me, and which god is it?

You'll find theists have a very different idea of what "evidence" means Tongue

Good for you for throwing out the challenge though!

There's no evidence against a generic deist creator god, except to say that it's an unnecessary assumption.

The evidence that the storybook gods aren't real, or at least are nothing like the stories, is that the stories are a load of shit. They are frequently completely inaccurate, and do not represent anything you would expect from a being that actually knew some stuff.

Its not really a challenge, I'm just wondering if a phrase I find myself saying "There is no evidence for a god" is true. If someone gives me multiple pieces of very credible evidence for any god then I may change my mind.

pretty much this. Most of the arguments for god are arguments for any god you pick. They may insist that the universe needs a creator, and want to insert their particular creator god into it, instead of another from a long list of creator gods to choose from. The more specific you get, the harder it is to prove.

RE: Please give me evidence for God.
Theists asking you to disprove god, before they have proved it in the first place, is pretty good evidence that they don't have any evidence.
