I believe that even if you KNEW what God was, you wouldn't know if you were looking at it or not.
Burning bush? Maybe a trick.
Walking on water? Magic powers are not God, either.
Destroying galaxies? Super technology!

Oh there are tons of things that I would accept, the most obvious being God appearing. Perhaps him giving a morning weather report to the whole earth or something like that. Evidence for God should be as obvious as evidence for lizards. I have the same standard of evidence for God as for anything else.

Evidence for God would look an awful lot like conditioned, faith-based and societally nurtured hunches. That is pretty much what we see through here I think.

My point is, there couldn't possibly be any evidence for a creating God. And anyone who isn't trying to be obstinate about it would admit it as well.

You mean Evidence? I was thinking of what it is that actually persuades people.
