Also, I don't know why God changed his policy on revealing himself to us, since the number of miracles and godly acts in the Bible is so high. Maybe he just got tired.
The primary problem you are having is that you use terms like evidence and miracle, and default to fiction to give you your definitions.
For example what does undeniable evidence of God look like in this world?
Define what a miracle is.

Define miracle and out line what indisputable evidence of God looks like.
