Can God Be Evident?

Ronald,

If there is a call, I hope I get it too.

Say, I've never heard your 'conversion' story. If it's not too off-topic, would you mind sharing with us what made you turn away from atheism and become a Christian?

Ceridwen018,
My testamony would be off topic, but anyone interested can goto "Atheist life is Worthless" my first post on that thread.

Certainly, if the God of Christianity (omnipotent, omniscient, etc.) wanted to provide evidence, he could do so. All he would have to do is appear before us and do something to demonstrate his powers. At that point, I am fairly sure that most of the Atheists, and all of the Agnostics would become immediate believers in God.

Would this convince you without doubt? I would probably fear for my sanity. However, as Woody Allen suggests a deposit in an overseas bank account in my name might do the trick.

Many of the athiests (Mr. Spinkles and Ceridwen at least!) on this forum have often used evidence as a defining argument in their opposition to theism and to great effect I would say. Evidence of our existance is readily identifiable, as is evidence of evolution (I am NOT claiming evolution is fact), and evidence of our surrounding universe forms the basis of their judgments.

Evidence of God is much more difficult to come by. I believe I have saw none but many would claim everything is more or less evidence of God's existance, like rain, and seasons, and life of course. Most people disregard this as it points to no such thing as a deity. And in this lies my question; is it even possible for God to be evident? Given the wild and fantastic nature of such claims can something mundane as evidence ever arise?

Would could possibly constitute an indication that a ruling entity controls our universe? Resurection doesn't even do it for me as someone suggested elsewhere, it would imply nothing other than I had died and was dead no longer.

Any thoughts? Or answers?
I believe that there is evidence for God. Evidence comes in many forms (philosophical, scientific). It is our assumptions that needs to be examined and provoked to get a better understanding of God.

Chuck, this claim has been made a thousand times (and that's probably not an exaggeration either). Are you going to be the one who finally backs it up?

yes I can back it up. However if I were to do so that would be off topic. if you want to make another thread that you as an agnostic wants me to prove God exsits then go ahead
