There isn't any actual "evidence" for God. I really wish we could all just agree on this. "Faith" might be "the evidence of things unseen," but that's not evidence at all in any meaningful sense of the word.
The Christian's personal, subjective experience of "Jesus in his heart" (e.g.) isn't evidence. I'm happy for him; but it's not. If he'd like it admitted as evidence, he'd be required to likewise admit the testimony of every believer in every religion - because there's no objective means of determining whose testimony is more valid - and they'd all rule each other out as far as any dogmatic interpretation goes.
"Existence" is not evidence of God. It's merely evidence of existence.
To have escaped death in unusual circumstances is not evidence of God. It's evidence that in that particular case, events unfolded such that you came through unscathed. To attribute your luck to God is a logical leap; it's not implicit in the circumstances themselves.
"The intuitive need built into almost every human being, for something that makes sense of life, and the mysterious spiritual side of it, most of us sense" is not evidence of God; it's only evidence of such a tendency in human beings.

The concept of divinity predates the bible. Ancient cultures believed in deities that where more powerful than they where. It is not such a leap to believe that God exists. I say that without thumping on a Bible, Tor rah, or Koran or any other 'holy' book. Besides if there was concrete evidence of God, then faith would be meaningless.

The evidence for God, has nothing to do with just one religion. The evidence for God, comes from the intuitive need built into almost every human being, for something that makes sense of life, and the mysterious spiritual side of it, most of us sense. We have this need for a reason. this need came from somewhere. Also an awful lot of people have gotten positive results from connecting with God as a result of that need.

As you look up to the sky, It might seem to you that there is no God.It is hard to see any thing that is inspirational or exciting .But to truley know with out a doubt ,with out any Bible reading,or any other referenses,go up to a very high spot the highest you have ever been ,Look around you see and feel the awsomness of this planet and see for yourself that there is a God. Oh ya ,as for " The Bible ",It stands for this
B basic
I information
B berfore
L leaving
E earth
God is inside your heart ,look inside and you will see him.
Personally I think the Bible was incomplete,Hense the Dead sea scrolls.You see there was a time line that was,or is missing Jesus life .He's almost unheard of from the age of 12 when he was found teaching in his fathers house,untill his age of 32 -33 when he was came into light teaching to his disiples, and laqter crusified.I have a theory on all of this ,I can talk for hours and I have spoken to many priests and pastors,and preachers.all of them have loved and used my philosophy .To make a short story longer God is who you think he is . GOD IS GOOD,God has many names Johova,Ali,The great I am, etc.
To find God is to know Pease and Love and to Feel both inside Good luck on your search
God Bless

Forget the Bible.... there is no "evidence" for God, nor will there ever be such "evidence".
All the scientist or scientist-type individual need to do to not experience God is to demand that God manifest Himself on the physical plane of existence... as God.
Such people will never discover that it is their fear of the "Unknown" within themselves than keeps them locked into the Left-Hemisphere of their brains, where it is quite impossible to discover God... or even the Spiritual Reality within themselves.
But even the most fearful scientist will ultimately awaken to the inner realms existing within him/herself. It may be several lifetimes from now.... but eventually this will happen.

what evidence is there that God exists? God was with me in my car when it rolled over twice and my mom and I weren't killed. That's all the proof I need. But there are so many miraculous things that happen every day. However, I will say that "To each his own" and if you choose not to believe it has nothing to do with me :)

Go to s8int.com. While there is no way to prove God's existence, there is evidence of God's Creation. Go 2 s8int.com if u aren't thick-headed.

The Bible of The True Christian Faith does not "prove" God... But God will prove His Word to all who come to Him in The Way He prescribes.... No one of The True Christian Faith can "prove" God to any one... even though each of us, individualy, knows for absolute certain that God exists... The proof of God you seek may only come form God
When God want you to know The Truth you will know The Truth... but of course you will still be free to reject it... that will be your loss if you do...
