The scientific method automatically discards anything that is not repeatable, observable, and recordable.If god is intent on hiding, he will be able to do so. Being omniscient, though, he must also realize that his refusal to show himself to anyone who might prove his existence conclusively (as opposed to ancient people who had little understanding of science), then some people won't believe in him.
