Easy. If a god then show up in my presence out of thin air. If a creator, start creating stuff out of thin air at request and in my presence (well not really air, just a saying, create out of nothing). I'll settle for a lamb (if I remember right, it used to do this).
If a god, it knew this request for evidence even as I was typing. I looked all over the house (even in the cloths dryer) no new presence. Maybe it is shy and hiding in a way that I can't perceive. If so, why didn't it start creating stuff. Again, looked around the house and in the yard, no lamb.
OK, I've made my request(s) that went unfulfilled. What are you willing to provide?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
