How do you think that these physical manifistations should be proven? The bible is clear that they cannot be independently verifiable. indeed, Christianity would crumble to dust right now if you could substantiate this one. I think you could be on the brink of becoming very rich! Remember me won't you!
Well, if something interacts with reality, even if it withdraws to the realm of metaphysics afterwards it does so dripping with physics; things that happen in the real world tend to... happen in the real world. And we can test things that happen in the real world, regardless of the bible's claims to the ultra super secrecy of these events.
But oddly, we always find natural explanations for the things that happen; each and every miracle claim recedes under the gaze of science. If god directly intervenes with the world, then we'd have some evidence of spontaneous happenings devoid of cause... but we don't. Ever.
Now, if you're going to follow up your claim by saying that god works through natural processes in order to interact with the world, then you simply have no basis for claiming you can tell the difference between a god-caused event and a natural one. It would look the same either way, so how could you possibly tell?
