If God, or a being of such incredible power as to be indistinguishable from God, appeared that would be good enough for me. I think the chances of this happening are about the same as the chances of me crapping up a unicorn this morning.

What exactly would that entail, though? I think any scenario involving miracles that would seem to confirm God's existence is bound to be invalidated by Clarke's Third Law. If a powerful being appeared and did something that seemed impossible and godlike to us, we would have no way to determine whether it was accomplished through a greater understanding of the universe than ours, which is just sufficiently advanced technology, or a deity performing miracles.
