Well, if someone claiming to be god did something previously proven impossible, that would be a good start. (And I'm not talking something probably impossible, I mean like making a live dog materialize out of thin air by snapping his fingers) Of course, we wouldn't know which god it was. God would be playing a pretty good game of hide and seek if he existed. If he wanted to prove once and for all that he existed, it would be easy to demonstrate.
On a related note, some theists say that god will never prove his own existence because we would have no choice but to follow him if he did, infringing on our free will. And yet some theists claim non-belief in god is a choice, that we could choose to beleive if we wanted. How would we lose the ability to choose if he manifested himself if we were in denial as those theists had claimed? Wouldn't it be a better test to reveal yourself and see who follows, rather than hide yourself and see who blindly believes?
