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.

It would be good enough for me. It's kind of funny that you guys are being this stubborn. Do you really expect god(s) to appear tomorrow and you to nitpick at him? Of course not, because there is no god(s). If everyone got a god broadcast into their minds every morning would you all nitpick and be so dogmatic about it? If it did happen I would have to accept that as plausible positive evidence. Nothing like that is every going to happen though. So I safely remain an Atheist and always will be.
