1. It's up to him what he does. But if he gives me no credible evidence, and gives me a brain that requires evidence to draw a conclusion, he's setting himself up to fail there. Why would anyone believe something without a good reason to do so?
2. No. The universe is evidence of the universe. Just because science doesn't know everything about its origins, that doesn't mean you can just make stuff up. And anyway, that wouldn't point to anything more than a deistic God. You've then got to argue why that God is Yahweh.
3. No. I certainly wouldn't "serve" him. If he's supposed to be all powerful, he needs no help from me and is just messing me about. If he wants to have a sensible relationship, that is fine. But he's the all knowing one, and I'm here waiting, with no way to distinguish him from nothing.
4. Err... if God wants to to something, he can do it right now. If he's dragging it out, he's being a dick.
My answers may change slightly if you don't claim your God is all powerful.
