It would be close enough for me. No, I wouldn't have absolute proof that that exact being is the one that created the universe, but in that sense you don't have absolute proof of anything. That type of hyper-skepticism is as stupid as not having any skepticism at all. How do you know that deer or dogs are real? My burden of proof for them is satisfied and my burden of proof for God is not.
