Yet, there's another problem with what you're saying here. What is conclusive evidence to to one is isn't the same as conclusive evidence to another. You don't offer what you mean by "conclusive evidence." And something tells me that you're not as willing as you say. I get the feeling that you come into this debate ready to...well debate! Even with a well-thought and convincing argument, I get the feeling that you would be more than ready to defend your position. This isn't a bad thing...in fact it's good. You're a bigger person than most for inviting others to a friendly debacle, rather than just openly shooting them down before they can talk...er...or type.
Your right I am willing to defend my position. I'm also willing to accept I may be wrong.
As for what is conclusive evidence this is evidence that is testable and can be independently verified.
Best evidence to get me to believe in God would be for him to show himself to me claiming to be the God of the Bible. He could take any form he likes, burning bush, bearded white robed guy, George Burns doesn't matter. Now to verify this was God we could go down to the nearest lab, set up a controlled environment and have him create matter/energy. Wouldn't have to be much even a few basic particles would be fine, that shouldn't be to much to ask from the guy who created everything.
He did that I'd believe him.
This video outlines a lot of what I would also accept.

Also aliens having the same belief wouldn't do it for me either as this could be just circumstantial and the possibility that Jesus was an alien has been raised in the past.
Another thing would be physical evidence of a seemingly impossible event such as a geological layer around the entire globe indicating the existence of a global flood would due.
Also maybe someone can come up with some form of evidence I hadn't thought of that could be equally impressive.
Yes I am demanding incredible evidence for an incredible claim before believing it.
But look at what has been presented.
Vein attempts to disprove a scientific theory, while offering nothing to the God claim.
Bible says so because God wrote it because the Bible says so...etc.
No proof, just believe and it will be real then.
