Please note Clarke's "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Also, an advanced civilization might also be able to put you in something like the Matrix and show you all kind of crazy stuff.
So, could there be an absolute evidence for God?
Its a mistake to ask for "absolute" evidence - science doesn't deal in absolutes.
We'll, however, settle for sufficient evidence for a reasonably formed god-hypothesis. Let's have atleast that much first and then we can talk about proving it beyond all doubt.
Propose a god hypothesis, more or less consistent with popular perception of "god", that is in principle falsifiable.
The argument for god essentially all boils down "if a god hypothesis is so constructed as to be unfalsifiable, then and only then is its falsifiability itself evidence for it being true. With any other unfalsifiable hypothesis this is not the case".
