You're walking along some flat grassy plains somewhere, no-one around you for miles, when you hear a deep, booming, voice coming from the sky calling your name.
"Who's there?" you say.
"I am God" says the voice.
Now, naturally being atheist, or agnostic, you haven't readily subscribed to the notion of God previously and you're frankly sceptical. Although there is nobody around for miles, it could simply be a prank you don't understand, or alien contact or a whole slew of outlandish, yet plausible, other possibilities.
"I don't believe you" you say defiantly.
"I am God. Honest. I can do anything." says the voice.
"What would you have me do to prove it to you?"
What would you have the voice do to convince you?
Interesting situation. This probably what I would do:
  • When I walked down that "flat grassy plain" I would probably ask the being why I walked out here in the first place. What was my motive to even travel out here alone?
    or
  • Q:If Super String Theory is plausible and can be formatted into an equation, what would the equation look like?
    or
  • I would ask: If you are God and created everything, then why don't you un-create yourself to prove to me, that you actually aren't some crackpot hoax. I would see what the being says, depending on what it said I would come up with another riddle of choice. Play a semantics including some fuzzy logic.
Those are the only three things I would ask. I wouldn't need anything else for verification.
