The bible is full of evidence that "god" exists, it's just that there is written the distorted vision of primitive people what "god" really is. The ancient civilizations knew what god really was: "Odin's home among the stars" and other examples of that. In times when people died from a simple wound on the skin an advanced medicine must have looked like god-like powers and resurrection. Today's guns would surely look like "thunder throwing hammers" to primitive people. An advanced technology for storing DNA sequences surely looked like an ark to the primitive people.
Which is another way of phrasing Kevin's point that proof of god(s) depends on one's definition. Good points, don't get me wrong, but (if you'll pardon the pun) the devil's in the details. A human who knew ecliptic cycles could manipulate a primitive society (cf. Columbus), but that doesn't mean he managed the eclipse.
I think the issue is that you're talking about a god from the point-of-view of the percipient, while the OP is using the term "god" in the Judeo-Christian sense.
