Would you think that was really God or would you think that was some special effect? Or would you say "There's a logical scientific explanation for that"?

well Ive seen some of the answers and it looks like regardless if he showed himself (like most atheist want to happen just to have proof) they still wouldnt believe what they saw........
Before you answer, remember I said if God appeared in PUBLIC, so dont give answers like a bad acid trip or illness

they like being oblivious to the fact that God exists

I'd go with special FX. That or I'm over-stressed from being over-worked.
I imagine God has better things to do, than screw with my head...
Edit: In regards to your additional comments; Atheists would want proof of God. Seeing something is not necessarily proof.
So it would depend on what this appearance of God was whether it would have an effect; If God appearing was something that could not be faked; Earthquakes shaking the ground out of nowhere; storm clouds appear out of nowhere on a clear day; a massive light comes out of the sky brighter than the sun and starts speaking to you in a booming voice, people are running and screaming, while lightning strikes the ground all around you... and after giving you a message everything suddenly stops all of a sudden and its a clear sunny day again... that would be hard to argue... and convert a lot of atheists...
If God appearing on the other hand was merely the stereotypical appearance of Jesus walking up and saying "Hi [Insert name] I'm Jesus"... thats not exactly going to go convincing too many people...
also... Why can someone not have a bad acid trip in public ?

no god in whole universe is available in a particular shape. there are many forces who are working in making and destroying . nothing in the universe is permanant ,even the big mountains are in moveablle condition and the item which has the movement is destroyable. after every destruction anew system of manufacturing start.that is why no body can claim that he is a god who has created this universe.if some one is claiming that he is a god ,i do not believe in it.but a man can have better knowlege than others to understant the system of universe

I would probably think that someone was messing around with a projector.
But then God would know this. So if she wanted to appear before me to convince me of her existence she would know that a zap in - zap out would not work and she would perform a miracle that would persuade me, like the ten commandments in letters of diamond 50 ft high running right through the Rockies, the Alps and the Himalayas.
Or are you saying that she is just a tease?

but there is already a few sightings of god that i have witnessed, and right after the homeless guy who lives on the corner near the old post office declares that he is god (which is on a near daily basis) he disappears under his pile of rags again, it's not a special effect, he's just a bit loony.
I've also met Jesus , at 15 i used to work for McDonald's he lived behind the dumpsters preaching to the many pigeons (who he thought where his disciples) i would take pity on this homeless guy and buy him his favourite burger meal, big mac with fries and large chocolate shake.so you see i have never had to look far to met many a homeless man claiming to be god/Jesus.

Suppose that the Flying Spaghetti Monster appeared to you in public, said that he'd created the universe, and vanished.
Would you leave your religion and become a Pastafarian?
If you're sincerely thinking "yes, yes I would", then congratulations - you've nailed us atheists. If not, I suggest you reflect on your response and your question.

Based on your description of events, I'd say it was a magic trick.
If you want to add a provision that this being actually proves (scientifically) that it is the being that created all life on Earth, then I would have to believe him.
That doesn't mean I start believing the bible is true. It still doesn't disprove our common ancestory. I still wouldn't worship her.

They would need at a minimum a tissue sample, and they would have to assemble a panel of Athiest wine tasters to test and make sure the water was in fact turned into wine.

There is one. It is called a delusion. It is a very well understood and treatable condition. I would go see a doctor.
Andrea Yates subscribed to your type of thinking. Look where it got her.

I am an Atheist.
So if god is real, that means the bible could not be contradicted, right? Well Exodus 33:20 says "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live". . So if I saw something like that no matter what it could not be god.

I'd think I was on a bad acid trip.
