Over and over again it has been claimed that there is no evidence whatsoever of God's existence...despite other's claims to the contrary...
What I would like to know is what specific evidence or at least what types of evidence would people require to believe in the existence of God...
Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Changed topic title from "Proof of God's Existence" to "What specific evidence would people require to believe in God's existence?"

Abide by the Forum Guidelines and all will go well.
Again welcome and fruitful debating. Purple

    A pre-promotion message
    What I would like to know is what specific evidence or at least what types of evidence would people require to believe in the existence of God?
    I think the above question is a good basis for a new topic, IF we can keep things focused on that question.
    There have been a number of previous "Proofs of God" type topics. The main pair offhand seems to be:
    Is God determined to allow no proof or evidence of his existence?
    Is God determined to allow no proof or evidence of his existence? Part II
    Going to do a topic title modification, and then will promote topic - Please stand by.

    Added by edit: Changed topic title from "Proof of God's Existence" to "What specific evidence would people require to believe in God's existence?". You can possibly have "evidence", but (IMO) you can not ever have "proof".
    Edited by Adminnemooseus, : See above.
