Lol. Of course not, but they would say it does.

And that was my point, in response to "That is unless you have evidence to the nature of God that says otherwise."

Perhaps I should've been more direct in my counter-point then. I was simply trying to demonstrate that no one has evidence to the nature of god, so why would I need evidence contrary to someone's opinion of the nature of god?

I just reread your statement and realized that I think we're in agreement lol.

We are

5.

Ana, notice that you're content only with 3, while Christians would use the term in line with 2, 4 and 5. Your idea that one of us would have whatever shows us G-d is, in some form we could equally show you, defies the very basis of the topic here.

If you wanted that sort of thing, you'd need to find it for yourself. And the problem is, you don't know "where" to look, cuz it's not a where!

That part would be very difficult to discuss, but why this is might be easier.

THe problem here is that Christians would like to use 2 in the same way as 1. They aren't the same, that's why we have multiple definitions. If you wanted to prove or justify a belief-the evidence defined in 1, you wouldn't use a "sign or indication" as in evidence type 2. To do so would be mixing the correct contexts of the word evidence. In other words, your sign or indication (evidence 2) of god isn't proof (evidence 1) of god.

It's still evidence.

It's still evidence.

Sure, just not the type that proves anything, which was the context in which it was being used in the earlier posts.
