I can't really imagine anything that could be quite sufficient as proof of a god - there's HUGE claims that seem utterly illogical, and I can't see any thing at all suggesting that the supernatural exists. For a start, I think it's pretty unlikely that there is anything but that with a physical basis, which kind of makes the normal way of thinking of gods etc hard.

As for miracles? I'd want to look for a scientific answer to what was happening, a real answer.

TBH, I'd be more ammenable to being converted to believe in fairies etc - their claims are much less OTT...

1. So how about it, what would suffice as proof of God?
Him saying, "Hi, Craig, how's it going? Listen, Jesus is my son, so... go with Christ".

There may be a god, but how should I know which, if any, religion portrays him correctly?

I think it would have to be more personal... at least for me. All kinds of tricks are possible today. I'm not impressed with acts by David Blane (SP?) simply because I know they're tricks. The same attitude would be in my mind if a preacher from a far away town came here and started performing "miracles".

A passage in the Bible that says:

"On january 1, in the year 2009 AD, I God will move the mountain which is called Mount Everest at that time from its location in the Himalayas to the Australian outback. I will leave it there for precisely one day and then return it to the place that I took it from. I will do this to show that I exist."

And then, if this actually happened, I would view it as very strong evidence that God exists.

Not proof, because there could be aliens using advanced technology to do it. But advanced aliens doing that particular thing at that particular time is highly unlikely.

So, self-fulfilled prophecy is proof of God?

I don't think anything will, except for a personal experience

That is pretty good as it would show something very specific and probably impossible to do by humans.

I really would not have a problem if it were proven that God existed, my problem would be if the Judeo-Christian God existed.

Let's see what would it take for me to believe that one ... Ah I know. Scientists look through our most powerful radio telescope and see a sign in deep space, thousand of light years away that says,

"Billy Graham is right, accept Jesus or go to hell!"
That would get my attention.

Depends on what god is or which god you're referring to. A golden calf can be touched, seen, and weighed. A volcano can destroy your village. The sun can bring life to the whole earth. God is just a term for what you worship.

One has to define what the term "god" means before one can begin to accept proof of such a concept. What's interesting is that billions accept the stories of a supposed man that lived on earth 2000 years ago as being a god w/o independant historical verification as being sufficient proof of a god - would anyone do that today?

1. Showing up, for instance, at the UN, in front of cameras for the eyes of the world to see.

2. Chris Angels does a better job than Jesus.

That still would not help. . . even the Christians would reject that "proof".
