Edit- Now that I think about it, why can't we know now? What is with this game of divine peek a boo?
This question comes up a lot, and here is a good answer to the question; I'm calling it:
The Fine Tuning of the Evidence
Scripture describes God as a hidden God. This means you have to make an effort of faith to find him, and there are clues you can follow. If that weren’t so, if there was something more or less than clues, we would not be free to make a choice about Him. If we had absolute proof instead of clues, then we could no more deny God than we could deny the sun. If we had no evidence at all, you could never get to faith. God gives us just enough evidence so that those who want Him can have while those that don’t want Him are not forced to do so. Those who want to follow the clues will.
