Forget proof, I'd settle for any evidence that couldn't be explained by natural or man-made processes as a start. As to what that evidence would be, well there's probably an infinite number of unimaginable possibilities. Hey any gods out there, surprise me!

If someone merely manages to materialize something even as trivial as a specific brand of icecream before me, I would regard it as proof as something mysterious is going on --- even if I do not immediately jump on the god-bandwagon. But so far I have not seen anything that cannot be explained.

Well if he is all powerful, or even just damn powerful, he can come and have lunch with me. Tell me he is god, tell me a lot of things no one could know about like read my thoughts in detail, and then do something just a little imposible for humans to do. Maybe fly off (without any machines) like the last cut in Matrix or something

You might want to check out the Gospels. You are so close

Well, RJS I have checked out the Gospels, you can find out in the Skeptic's Annotated Bible why secularists don't take the Old Testament or the New Testament too seriously. Here's the link.

Here's another link to a site which isn't over impressed with the Bible. I haven't tried this site though you try it for me.

Just asking. Not to argue, I just would like to know some of the different reasons people have.

Well Mithrandir, we're inclined to argue. First a question, a bit cheeky, a bit irrelevant, 'If someone does martial arts on you without permission, will you turn the other cheek?'

Second, a web site which explains why so many people stop believing in God, here,s the URL.

Steven Locks' website will teach you a great deal.
