You can't, actually. The right arguments might convince someone of the possibility of the existence of God, but one's experience with God is personal, and incapable of being shared in a meaningful manner.

I mean, I speak with the Goddess on a daily basis, and I know when she answers me, but no one else can hear the answer she gives me. There is no empirical evidence--that is, evidence observable by others--that She exists at all.

Sorry to disappoint you.

You can't. Not really. Only God is able to reveal Himself to them, and that comes through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. What you can do is plant seeds. If you can get them to admit that there are sins, that's a good start. If there's sin, there's Someone against whom one has sinned. You then have to show that that person has sinned. If they have sinned, they need to be forgiven of it. How is that forgiveness obtained? What happens if they don't become forgiven?

They will insist on empirical evidence, and someone answering you already has, but no one, not even they, can provide emperical evidence of an abstract concept. No one can provide emperical evidence of an idea or ideology; it's intangilble.

The most important thing to remember is this: you are not called to convince anyone of anything! You are called to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in love. God will handle the rest. It's tough to present God's truth to someone and have them not believe, I know, but that's really all we can do in the end. Even if they don't believe us now, they may believe another down the line because we planted the seed that sprouted so they could believe later.

It depends upon the status of the non-believer. I would begin to speak about the beauty of nature. Then, the beauty of humans as a breathing organisms in nature. There are times when we feel one with nature and in that moment it's easy to recognize that a divine force is behind it all and we are but a spec in the cosmos. Our souls are the spark of the divine within us, just as that spark of life is seen all around us.

You can't convince a person overnight. There are no specific words that will convert a soul instantly. It's a process that takes time.

When you see a building, do you think there is no architect? Did the materials just come together by random accident and Whoops! There's a skyscraper?

Compared to a tree, a building is a pretty simple endeavor. Do you seriously think trees don't have an architect?

Truthfully, it takes hundreds, if not thousands of people to make a skyscraper happen. The combination of physics, chemistry, geometry, art, ergonomics...all of it has to be designed and carried out. Trees, bugs, people aren't accidents because they are so infinitely more complex than a skyscraper, such perfect and amazing machines, it's plain ignorance to think there's not something behind that..something that designed us.

I just find it difficult to believe that all of this came together by accident and the only thing capable of creation is mankind...who has not yet even managed to create..well..anything. (Newton's Law. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed.)

Stop the tides for a half hour and by invoking the name of God part the Sea and collect Sea shells with them from the bottom of the Ocean. I think that would do the job nicely, eh what! Glad to help, may want to film it as well, God doesn't do parlour tricks every day!

You can't force your beliefs on someone. They have to want to have God in their lives from the start. If they truely do believe deep down in their hearts and just don't want to admit it, then the Word of God will reach them.
But you have to have repect for the person and what they believe too. Just because they don't share in the joy and love of knowing God does not mean they are a bad person.

Jesus said, " No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day ( John 6:44 ). It is a mega relief that our job as a Christian is not to save them, but only to tell them and pray for them. Jesus said in John 12 :32 " I will draw all men unto myself." Meaning that no one is excluded, but as the Lord says....we know that His " drawing " can be rejected as we see in Matthew 12 :37..." and ye would not." So keep loving the Lord and walking before them in obedience because our lives are the Bible that many will only read and God will bless you for your faithfulness and take care of the other details
( drawing others whose hearts are receptive to Him. God knows each one by name ).

faith is a belief in somthing for which we have no proof, thus convincing some one of Gods existance is sort of impossible as it is a matter of faith. the best ive seen done is the reductionist approach by which you continue back siting the catalyst for universal events ending at the big bang and asking what preceeded and how does nothing beget something.
good luck

You cannot do that. The knowledge of God is already there (Romans 1), and only the Holy spirit can take the blinders off of the heart. Unbelief is not an intellectual issue, it is a moral one.
