Hardly. I'm not trying to make any proof at all. Just inquiring about those saying it shouldn't be hard for God to reveal himself. My point is, in this modern world what would it take for God to meaningfully reveal himself that the modern scientific skeptic couldn't simply explain away?
If god popped his face into the sky and turned everything on earth a bright purple and said "I'm god and now everything is purple just because I can" I might believe that....maybe.
You have a good point kp. The only problem is that if there was a god it could have revealed itself in a meaningful way ages ago. If every human society in history all had the same description of the same god, across time and across every continent...everyone would believe that. If there was a god back then I'd think it'd be smart enough to figure that out.
