What would evidence proving God's existence be like?
I've asked this several times with little luck. With all that is claimed about God and His character, what would scientific, empirical evidence showing God be like?

From a biblical perspective...for some, nothing would be considered evidence enough, not even His actual appearance, miraculous actions or words of wisdom (has happened and will happen again). This is the age of grace by faith, and it wasn't always so. At another time, He made Himself more known, interacted and offered evidence...that evidence was not only ignored but He was actually killed by us for His appearance, miraculous actions and words of wisdom. People keep saying "Well why doesn't He just show Himself?!" and to that I say some people never really change, just how many times do they expect Him to be willing to be tortured and murdered by us? Besides, His death served a purpose, that purpose has been served, so why do so again. Some will absolutely not accept any evidence at all because they do not agree with His moral values His plan for man. This will cause them to, in the future, accept His enemy in His place based on the evidence this enemy shows to them and He will allow it to happen, because they actually preferred the lie enough to accept less evidence (they prefer His enemy's opposite values and WANT to believe him, that he is God, when in fact, he is not). Not everyone, mind you. A HUGE number that can't even be numbered will see this for what it is, and the lies will serve as evidence of what Jesus already told us so long ago. So, from a biblical perspective...it's lots like the different pet studies you see out there (some debunking climate change, some exaggerating it until it is difficult to get to the truth). A great many people, some extremely intelligent even, accept some evidences and reject others according to what they want to believe.

My God is not empirical ... the empire is more of that of, the italian proticol, but there may be others ... An empire is a pride, and was also evident during the Roman "empire" ... i even asked my kids about the fashion quot today, empire "waiste" or drop waiste ... drop waiste is way prettier!!! those carrying others are mere slaves to an empire that cares not for woman ... obviousily ... their fruit is evident that they dump on women ...
Maybe we should stop recycling? Cause the italian proticol proves they can't manage their own waiste!!!
Anyway, there is proof of God's existence ...

It's logically impossible to prove conclusively and indefiniately that a transcendental being exists.
But God appearing to all people on earth in a vision all at once might be good evidence to that generation of people that he exists
There will always be an alternative explanation for any display given by a God. It could be a group hallucination, a coincidental healing, a trick by men with power, etc etc

The book of Daniel chapter 8 depicts a series of visions depicting the rise and fall of world powers. This is a portion of a presentation I am putting together on the subject.
Keep in mind Alexander the Great the 1st king of Greece
“The two-horned ram represents the kings of Media and Persia. 21 The shaggy male goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes represents the first king of the Greek Empire.”-Daniel 8:20-21
“Now the ram was helpless, and the goat knocked him down and trampled him. No one could rescue the ram from the goat’s power.”-Daniel 8:7
The defeat of the Persian Empire
Alexander's army crossed the Hellespont with about 40,000 Greek soldiers. After an initial victory against Persian forces at the Battle of the Granicus, Alexander accepted the surrender of the Persian provincial capital and treasury of Sardis and proceeded down the Ionian coast.
Alexander's army crossed the Cilician Gates and met and defeated the main Persian army under the command of Darius III at the Battle of Issus in 333 B.C.E. Leaving Egypt, Alexander marched eastward into Assyria (now Iraq) and defeated Darius and a third Persian army at the Battle of Gaugamela.
“The goat became very powerful. But at the height of his power, his large horn was broken off.”-Daniel 8:8
On the afternoon of June 10-June 11, 323 B.C.E., Alexander died of a mysterious illness in the palace of Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylon. He was only 33 years old.
“The four prominent horns that replaced the one large horn show that the Greek Empire will break into four kingdoms, but none as great as the first.”-Daniel 8:22
Alexander's empire was divided at first into four major portions: Cassander ruled in Greece, Lysimachus in Thrace, Seleucus I, Nicator ("the winner") in Mesopotamia and Iran, and Ptolemy I of Egyptin the Levant and Egypt.

There is more but if you are an open minded person this is just a starting point.

No matter what God does produce there will always b some scientific nut out to prove that it was all a freak act of natural causes. Faith is not seen!
There is evidence. Ppl have come back to life and also recieved healing that dr's cant explain and yet its still not enough. Its just not worth it. Y would God bother when humans think they know better!!??!!

He'd have to come down from the clouds on a golden chariot and kill the entire cast of the Expendables with a single lightning bolt, while Tim Burton films it for all news networks and the disney channel. then they'd have to release it on netflix and get Morgan freeman to narrate it. Now thats proof.

He could show up.
Or it could be a testable prediction. The Bible flat out says prayer helps heal. If you did a controlled experiment and it turned out that it were true that would be evidence. Thing is, they have done this and there is no effect.

How about a body a million light years tall appearing in space. It would then do a double thumb point to it's chest and say "see this guy, he's real."

Same evidence proving your existence.

I would expect some physical laws to be broken.
If God is bound to physical laws, He is bound to this universe. He would be a product of it, and not the Creator of it.
