From a discussion with Radrook in the Coney Challenge thread, we spoke for a bit about whether or not a person would be willing to change their mind about their religious beliefs (or lack thereof) given sufficient evidence.
So that's the question - Regardless of whatever your position is on the existence of God, would you be willing to change your viewpoint if you were given good enough evidence?
Obviously, for the purposes of this thread, the evidence in question is hypothetical. It does not actually need to exist. So if you would say, "Yes, I would change my viewpoint, although I couldn't imagine what evidence would be sufficient to do that," you'd choose yes.
I'd also like to hear discussions on what that evidence could be, even if just hypothetically.
For me, yes, I would change my viewpoint in a second, given evidence that withstands thorough testing.
