EDIT: Sorry, let me clarify...Any person in the world? As in, choose a random person, can they be convinced?

Sorry guys, I really couldn't pick a "best answer" on this one....There were some that I wanted to believe and others that I couldn't deny....Guess I'll have to let it go to voting...

It's not so much being "convinced" than it is "accepting reality".
By the way, the burden of proof is on the believers, not the skeptics.
I'll wait for them to live up to their responsibility, thanks.

Depends on the person. There are some people who may have had a personal experience or witness of God, who I think would be pretty difficult to convince. I would say there are a lot you could convince, if they listened with an open mind. But, the same goes the other way, if a person who doesn't believe listens with an open mind and desires to know, then they could be convinced.

It depends on the level of the persons faith...If you are trying to convince someone who is already shaky in thier belief of God, then it wouldn't be that difficult. People hear what they want to beleive. On the other hand, if someone tried to convince me that there was no God, it would be a waste of time.
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse"

yes a person can be convinced that there is no god if his/her whole life is based on sci facts and he does not have a very broad imagination and if certain stuff like miracles never happened to him or has happened to him but he always pushed them aside as facts and one thing leads to another etc etc.
.a not spirtual person works upon his mind not his heart he sees logic behind every simple detail .. give to charity he will think about how will it affect the person through clever thinking he will give the right amount of money
no he cant be convinced if a persons whole life is if a persons imaginations is very broad [ not saying god is not real] his whole life is based upon miracles bcz of his mindset tht everything is a gift of a person high above and we should thank him for all he helped and .. many religious people[ honest good people ] who open their hearts to every 1 thus those people take them for granted and they come everyday and the same person gives gives gives becoming more galuable and nicer every day and his heart is warmed by the fact i m doing a good deed
and god is happy for me
also based upon his childhood and parents his spirituality increases decreases
his mind set of life also makes a diff
his love for certain things make a diff
his character of being rebelious or follow the book make a diff ...
i am certain you can make a guy belive in god .. or you cant divert him from spirituality to logical thinking
but .. you can make a person gain faith if a miracle happens to him write before his eyes where science cant explain
i never belived in god but my wife did
we had a son who was diagnosed with cancer
he wuz later on chemotherapy .. he had surgery .. one yr later the cancer wuz bak and doctors said he wouldnt live a couple of months left ... she told me we ll go to the head moula
she was a muslim shia bohri .. she and me went to him about over situation he told us i want to be alone with ur son ... when we took him to the hospital .. no cancer .. belive it if you want ..
but thts what made me gain my faith
have a wonder full life
with regards
the guy

No -
I can't comprehend how others could wake up and not believe in a Loving God who created man, this world - nature and the 4 seasons, all the planets, sun,sky moon - animals - etc.
and that they are in control of each and every aspect of their life - and when this life's is over when it's over.

Many have been convinced there is no God. Why do you think evolution became our biology class. Unfortunately people don't want to hear or let others give proof that God exists.

Sure. I mean, atheists need to come from somewhere, right? So you gotta figure, everyone who doesn't believe in God either became convinced or had ancestors who were convinced, right?

Yes, and you'd be surprised how little time and information it can take. Something as simple as reading "Origin of the Species" does it for some people.

Depends on whether or not they've already been brainwashed to believe in God. If they're not religious to begin with, then it would be rather easy to convince them there's no god. However, if they've already been taught that faith is a "good thing", most likely your arguments will fall on deaf ears.

Yes, if physical cosmology can prove/demonstrate that the physical laws of the universe are self-generating, I will be convinced that there is no god.

If you believe there is no God then you have to stand by it because regret is always in the end. That will be too late
to change then. Well, Hell have no exit signs. I believe in God and His only son Jesus Christ and I didn't lose or regret anything.
