We can't even always detect it when humans influence the world. What makes you think that we could detect it if God could, who might have access to even more subtle methods than humans?
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
He's known to be fairly bold and wants to be found. You're dodging the bullet by suggesting he's 'subtle' in the way he goes about things. Reading the Bible should have made you see that.

Doesn't matter is it is a deist God. If a God has power over current affairs in the world, then he must necessarily interact with the physical world.
A Deist god by defenition is one that nothing can be known about it. In other words, it created the universe and fled the scene.
Quote:It isn't that there must be physical evidence, but rather that physical evidence could be acquired. Hell, it would even be likely that there would exist somewhere evidence for a God.That's well worded. I agree completely.
