"Who is God", "Where is God" and "What is God" are all equally fallacious questions because they presuppose the existence of God. First you observe something in some way, then you name it and finally you ask those questions. God hasn't been observed at all, which is something all superstitions have in common, so there's no point in jumping directly to the name and the questions.

When you demand scientific evidence of God's existence from someone who claims God exists you are essentially asking What is God? and Where is God?. If not, what kind of evidence are you asking for?

A meteorite is seen. At first, it's just a spot on a monitor. Then you name it. Then you start asking what is it made of etc. What's the "spot on the monitor" when you talk about knowing that God exists? None. You just decided God must exist after you read about it in an old book. You named him, you invented things about him, but there's no real starting point. If you had some kind of experience, you just decided it must come from that one god and not from one of the countless others. It's all imagination and no reality. You ask what I would accept as evidence? Show me anything that can only be explained by the presence of a God. You must show that anything else fails or is less reasonable. That would provide a starting point for any religion, the starting point everyone misses.

You say, at first, a meteorite is "just a spot on a monitor". This is What and Where information. What? A spot. Where? On a monitor. You accept this as evidence for meteorites. You demand the same sort of evidence for God's existence. When you ask What? we say Everything. When you ask Where? we say Everywhere. These are unacceptable for you as scientific evidence. This is understandable.

What I'm saying is that you are asking the wrong question. The question is Who is God?. Science is has limitations; it's not equipped to give us an answer for this question. Only a personal relationship with God can answer it, the same way a personal relationship with you would be required for someone who wants to know who you are.
