(27,787 posts)If you read the bible, and other religious texts, God has shown up "as God" before, or gives some one on earth the ability to prove it.
For example, Moses is able to use God's power to "prove" God exists. Jesus does the same. At least if we are to believe those books.
So God can prove it.
Proving something does not exist is far harder.
What science has tended to do, is make the areas in which the explanation for some event must be "God did it", smaller and smaller.
For instance, many illnesses were explained as "God did it". Until science started to explain more and more of those events.
Floods and earthquakes .. "God did it" ... nope, science explains it.
What some now do is try to prove God by saying "Science does not explain X". The implication, often left unstated, is that God explains it.
