I don't think there is any evidence, people have a hard time accepting responsibility for their lives. When something bad happens, they ask why god let it happen, when something good happens, they thank god. It's a great way of clearing yourself of all responsibility, I guess, if you're simple minded, it's an easier way to live.

You should be able to see visible signs. You should see that person TRYING to become more like Jesus, even if he takes baby steps. Perhaps going to church, praying, talking about God, listening intently when God is brought up, thanking God for everything he has, if he used bad language all the time, perhaps he'll catch himself and apologize, and eventually stop, if he loves to go out and party all weekend, he won't have the desire to do that anymore, etc.

The heart of the Christian life is love (1 Cor. 13:1-3, 13). Paul wrote: "Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law" (Rom. 13:8). "For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself'" (Gal. 5:14; cf. Jas. 2:8; Mt. 22:36-40). Paul gives us a detailed description of how a loving person acts (1 Cor. 13:4-7). Christ himself is the standard for how we ought to love (Eph. 5:2, 25; 1 Jn. 3:23). We are to love "just as" he loved (Jn. 13:34; 15:9-12). One reason love is so important in the Christian life is that we act outwardly based on what we are inwardly (Mt. 12:33-35; 15:18-19; 23:25-26; Lk. 6:43-44). To be truly good, we must change our heart and our attitudes (Rom. 12:1-2; Psa. 51:10; 119:36; 2 Cor. 10:5; Eph. 4:22-23). Our inward person must become pure and loving, so that our outward actions will be good. In living the Christian life we need to avoid both outward sinful deeds and the inward sins of an evil heart.
Many other positive qualities or virtues are a part of the Christian life such as humility, unselfishness, patience, doing good to others, devotion to God, compassion, and a forgiving attitude (Eph. 4:32). Compile a list of good qualities which you should strive to attain in your life from the following passages: Mt. 5:3-9; Gal. 5:22-23; Col. 3:12-17; 1 Tim. 6:11; Jas. 3:13, 17-18; 2 Pet. 1:5-7. When you finish your list of good qualities, contrast it with vices or bad qualities you ought to avoid based on the following passages: Rom. 1:29-31; 1 Cor. 6:9-10; Gal. 5:19-21; Col. 3:5-10; 1 Tim. 1:9-11; 2 Tim. 3:2-5; Jas. 3:14-16; 1 Pet. 2:1-2.
The best way to learn about the Christian life is to read large sections of the New Testament which address this topic. Many of these compose roughly the second half of a book of the New Testament. The first half is teaching or doctrine which explains the religious basis for why we ought to live a certain way. The second half tells how our Christian faith is to be acted out in our lives (Tit. 2:1). Study the following sections of scripture on how to live the Christian life. The Bible teaches about family life, business, your relationship to government, personal integrity, sexual morals, and many more things (Mt. 5:1-7:28; 18:1-35; Rom. 12:1-14; Eph. 4:17-6:20; Col. 3:1-4:6; 1 Thess. 4:1-12; Tit. 2:1-11; Heb. 12:1-13:19; Jas. 1:2-5:20; 1 Pet. 2:11-5:11). As a Christian train yourself "in godliness" (1 Tim. 4:7). "Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness" (1 Tim. 6:11).

You see the person actually start to question you about the existence of God instead of insisting He doesn't exist.
You see their questions turn from anger to interest.

Well the first answer any good Christian would say is by the fruit of the Spirit, but since fruit can be faked I would have to say by whether or not their prayers are answered.

After he finishes his work, he makes you sign that form... a copy of that is pretty good evidence.

when people finish off each other sentances... when someone answers a question before it's asked... when someone needs something and it just instantly becomes available... kinda like that.
