Yes it could.
So why doesn't it ?
Because such a thing doesn't exist.
Along those lines...
This video by Darkmatter2525, pretty much puts a nail in the coffin of the idea of an all powerful (or even maximally powerful) god actually existing.
He brilliantly demonstrates the the idiocy of an all powerful god, only appearing to a tiny geographical area, to an extremely small population, but leaving all the rest of humanity to go on existing for 1000's of years, 'inventing' their own mutually exclusive religions.
Of course, Lek will just pull the "god works in mysterious ways", argument.
Straw-man god, par excellence. Well done. But let me just say that I don't think revelation is limited to this planet. If or when we contact other intelligent life elsewhere in this vast universe, I sincerely expect that they will have their own numinous relationship. "There is no meaning to all this stuff" is not an answer, either. Maybe extraterrestrials will convince you, if your own kind, cannot. [Lol, imagine they actually look like the Flying Spaghetti Monster?]
