The Proof would have to come from God, as the OP suggests, not a book written by men.
All religions have a book or books written by men.
The Proof would be without a doubt, from God, and not something that would be questionable, and that's what would make it proof.

If there is a God, he doesn't intervien in anyway on behalf of Christians. Prayers don't help Christians in any way more than just "keeping a postive atitude."

No God heals Christians. They get sick at about the same rate as non-Christians, and stay sick about as long as anyone else as well. They are about as likely to recover from a serious illness as a muslim or hindu. Their is no miracle of healing that can't be attributed to coincidence, and they happen about as often to atheist as they do to the Christians.

Lots of times Christians pretend that's not true. They act like the "power of God" will work in their favor. But later, they say, "well he did answer your prayer, he just said no." This, of course, is indistinguishable from not answering the prayer at all.

The Christian God is indistinguishable from no God at all.

God revealed the Ten Commandments, the Torah, the Gospel and the Quran

God – be glorified – said in the Quran 6: 91
وَمَا قَدَرُواْ اللّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ إِذْ قَالُواْ مَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ عَلَى بَشَرٍ مِّن شَيْءٍ قُلْ مَنْ أَنزَلَ الْكِتَابَ الَّذِي جَاء بِهِ مُوسَى نُورًا وَهُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ تَجْعَلُونَهُ قَرَاطِيسَ تُبْدُونَهَا وَتُخْفُونَ كَثِيرًا وَعُلِّمْتُم مَّا لَمْ تَعْلَمُواْ أَنتُمْ وَلاَ آبَاؤُكُمْ قُلِ اللّهُ ثُمَّ ذَرْهُمْ فِي خَوْضِهِمْ يَلْعَبُونَ ...الخ

The explanation:

(And they do not esteem God as He should be esteemed; for they say: "God has never sent down anything on any human being!"

Say [Mohammed to them]: "Who then sent down the scripture which Moses brought: [as] an illumination and a guide to people,

which you put on papers that you reveal and you hide much,

and you have been taught that which you did not know: neither you nor your fathers."

Say: "[It is] God [Who revealed it]."

Then let them be to play in their prating.

And this [Quran] is a book which We have sent down [to Mohammed];

blessed,

and confirming [Mohammed] by whose hands [is the Quran],

and to warn [the people of Mecca] the capital of cities and those round about her.

Those who believe in the Hereafter [: the next afterlife] believe in this [Quran], and they are constant in keeping up their prayers.)

I don't consider the Quran as significant evidence that a God exist.

Can the God of the Quran heal the amputees? Nope. Just like the Christian beliefs, he can only perform those miracles that are indistinguishable from random chance and coincidence.

Nah, Christians try to pretend that random occurrences are proof of God. But they happen to atheist at about the same rate, same thing with Hindus, etc.

God moves in mysterious ways. God is a Spirit and those who seek him must do so in Spirit and in truth. The evidence is all around us - pray that God will open all our eyes.
