It would have to be something absolutely intellectually compelling -- a foolproof argument against his existence. Of course, the rationality of faith aside, it's not really a fair comparison. The existence of God can, in theory, be proven, if only by his appearing, but it's next to impossible to prove the non-existence of a thing. I wonder how many agnostics/atheists would change their mind if they were given an argument for God's existence just as compelling as the arguments they think should be changing our minds.
