God creates an apple ex nihilo into the palm of your hand.
What specific evidence would you use to convince your friend He did this?
I say there isn't any evidence.
The only thing that could remotely be used as evidence is the fact that the amount of mass/energy in the universe was raised accordingly, in violation of physical laws.
But we would have no way of knowing that, since science is myopic.*
* By myopic, I mean science is not omniscient.
You could present the apple yourself as evidence, along with your testimony, but your friend would have to accept that fact on faith, not science.
If he didn't accept it, and chose to believe you're wrong, then he, not you, would be the one in the wrong.
So do you agree with me that there is no evidence you can use to convince him, or not?
