Well - rephrase your question and post it again - there is a contradiction - the second qestion indicates that you are referring to some machine or an alien material being from another celestial object. God being Omniprescient exists every where as per theological thought and as such can not be called an unearthly entity which an alien can. But to answer each question individually
1. I would do nothing - just carry on living like I always have - since I fatalistic and probably my fate is written already by God
and there is not a damn thing I could do about it in any case.
2. I would immediately report it by email and telephone and snailmail to the Space authorities of every country I could find the addresses of. And then continue to carry on living like I always have - unless they told me to do otherwise - in which case I would hide under my bed till they get me Ha Ha

Honestly? I'd *dispute it*. Reality check. Nothing is ever flawless upon this earth, there is *always* going to be a catch.
Do NOT accept the old Jesuit argumentum ad paradox that "If it is a contradiction and still real, it must be of the Almighty." That is both a trap and an insult.
--It is a trap because it encourages folks to both give up on logic and reason, and it also discourages people from trying to see the bigger picture. Either one of these things is something you need to hold on to if you want to actually *prove* anything, never mind the "existence" of an Almighty above and beyond relevance as a social or cultural artifact (and geopolitical menace, of course). You need to hold on to logic and reason, not just for your own personal benefit (being able to discern sense from nonsense at more than an obvious level is crucial), but also to demonstrate to others that you aren't just a mindless, brainwashed sheep....
And having some perspective, or being able to see the bigger picture, is also critical because it allows you to observe the dynamics of multiple causes and effects, in parallel, as a system, and therefore find out and observe *where* things get weird exactly from a linear-sequential logic perspective.
--And it is also an insult because a) if you believe yourself to be not just the creation of an Almighty, but also made in said Almighty's image, then denying yourself proper ability to reason and reality check is also denial of these *gifts* from your Almighty, and b) because, well, you DO NOT know that the Almighty *has* to be irrational. *lol*
Really. Argumentum ad paradox operates in part on the implicit assumption that not only does the Almighty *not* make sense, but that at some deeper level, the Almighty *cannot* make sense.
Hello?? Excuse me??? Just Who do you think you are talking about here? *lol* ;)
So yeah....dispute, question, probe the living pissall out of your "undisputable" evidence, and don't play fair. Really, can something be of God if it falls apart upon asking the *first* hard question about it?
Just saying. :p

It would be difficult to share such evidence, in my opinion. Many people in the world believe without doubt there is a god of some description (notice the lack of capitisation on the word "god"). This is based on belief and lack of undisputable evidence. But they believe it anyway.
Some of these people decide to pass this belief onto others, pretending the holy book of their religion (Bible, Qu'an or other) is the actual evidence itself. They are so extreme in their belief of existence, that to them this book and other subjective happenings are all undisputable too.
Because of this, if I was to produce evidence to these people, their reaction will be one of happiness and confirmation. If I was to produce this evidence to a non-believer, they will automatically assume I was preaching, and duely ignore the evidence, or spend a long time finding flaws before they believe it.
Whether it would change my life is a question I may not be able to answer unless I found the evidence, but I doubt I would change and convert to a religion (I am currently non-believer). We are judged in many ways by so many people already. From school teachers and parents to the government. From police to people down the pub. Everyone judges everyone already, and some use this as their profession (judges, policemen, psychologists, etc).
To have one more person or thing judge me is negligable. And the fact he/she/it judges me after my life has ended will only encourage me to continue living my life my own way as I have eternity to make it up after.

What would you do if??
If it could be mathematically proved that those big fat bumble bees can't possibly fly? It has, but they can!
Assuming that Gods existence could be mathematically proved, would you believe it? I think not.
So what would it take for an atheist like me to find 'indisputable' proof of Gods existence?
Nothing less than a personal appearance , in front of many many witnesses!!
Naw, having given it a bit more thought, I still wouldn't belive!! and even if I did I would resent the intrusion !
Not much of an answer I admit but better than the one I first thought of which was BS, impossible to prove etc.

I wish it would not change me, but honestly confronted with such evidence I would be foolish to ignore it. However, your questions begs another question which is how would it change me?
Truthfully, I don't know! I feel I have reached a maturity where I am prepared to be accountable for my own actions.
It would also raise certain issues as to what are the intentions of this God? With all the trouble, strife and starvation in the world- why in heaven's name is 's/he/it' wasting time watching me?

No, it would change nothing for me. I'm actually an atheist that means I don't believe in God and even if it could be proved that he existed I wouldn't care about him. I wouldn't bother with his judgements and his watch over me. I'd go on living my life and doing my things the same way I do it now.

Obviously I would then believe in God.
At present, God is a mystery to us. If there was indisputable evidence that God exists we would presumably know more about what God was like, which would affect how we would behave.
People who believe in God already, in so far as they act according to their morals, live as though they were being watched and judeged by God. So knowing for sure that they were being watched and judeged would make no difference. And people who do not believe in God, again excepting circumstances when they believe they are acting badly, also do their best already to live according to their morals,

I dont believe i am clever enough to take in the proof of existance of God. Doesn`t matter what that guy says about thinking for myself, i do that , i consider humans, governments, politics etc but it is an extreme intellectual vanity to say that you are gonna think the god business out.

Start believing. I don't think I would preach too much about it though, but I would definatly make the evidence available. And just as usual, people would judge for themselves or ignore it!!

Sure I would. It would suck though, b/c I still wouldn't know which of the couple hundred sects is the right one?
Do I baptize under water? By a sprinkle? OT laws? NT laws?
