Are you asking: Why doesn't God reveal himself dramatically today like he did in the Old Testament?
I'm not begging god to show himself just noting that the more science are recording equipment we have the less he does, which suggests he is the product of primitive understanding.

Neither is remotely likely to have experienced the supernatural. The only difference is that in the case of modern NDEs we can study what is going on neurologically, and in the case of Moses we can't. You may view them differently, I don't. Do you view Mohammad or Joseph Smith's claims differently than NDE's or Moses' burning bush? Why?
What's the difference?
Thank you, but I thought you were asking a question about God's lack of appearances that I'm supposed to answer.
