Imagine for 30 seconds you are wrong...
Atheist: What evidence could God give you to make you believe that He was real (not kind, just real)?
Theist: What could you learn or see that would make you disbelieve in God?

We'll start with something simple.
My nephew (a budding free thinker) put together a cool little 7th grade science fair project. He ran an experiment to see if Christian prayer was effective. He built a maze and had two different rats run the maze. During 50% of the runs he had Christian students in another room pray for the rat. The prayers started 2 minutes before the rat was released and continued until the rat finished running the maze. The control was identical except no one was praying for the rat. Whether or not the rat was prayed for was randomized by coin toss.
The results showed that prayer made no significant difference in how the rat ran the maze. (I don’t have the P value with me sorry).

Hmmm..... Show me twenty or more full skeletons that show the descent from the common ancestor to the humans all side by side. But that wouldn't necessarily make me disbelieve in God because you could still conclude evolution was guided by God..... so..... Hmmm....
Conclusively find the bones of Jesus, and have a written testimony from someone about how it was truly Jesus, and know for sure that the testimony was not a fake or that the bones do not belong to someone else.

Well nothing could make me disbelieve in God- I am so secure in Him, that this question cannot even be answered- well by me anyway. Of course people doubt, but those who are saved know He is real, and not only because of our faith in Him but because HE has shown us- through creation and in our lives- God is definately moving in my life....and I know it is not just some "force" but it is God...He has revealed scripture to come true- Prophecies come true!
But I have asked athiests if they are so certain- because everyone will stand before God on judgment day, and you willing to take that risk?

Theist: wow...there is nothing I can think of. I was athiest 28 years before I saw wonders and miracles, all from a prayer I said out of serious desperation just in case Jesus was real...I'd have to go back in time and have those prayers unanswered for a start....
Blessings,
David

Honestly? As a Christian, there isn't anything that could make me go back to disbelieving. I went there for twelve years. I'm not going back.

There is nothing now, or ever that could make me disbelieve in God.

I really question my believes now. I mean thousands and more are dieing in this stupid war with Iraq (Cause Bush is a diseased monkey), and more are dieing of other wars in other places, of famine, disease, murder.But some how I always feel someone is always there to see it. And peace washes over me I i can not deny a soft, gentle, presence there.

It would need to be a lot more believable than a 2000 year old book containing talking donkeys, 900 year old men, and zombies climbing out of their graves.
