Wait, are we creating a new religion? Can I be in charge of its treasury?

Going back to the start of all this though the OP seems to have bailed, he initially seems to be alluding to a deist god.
An unstated characteristic which I suspect he assumed but failed to identify would be sentience.
So to start with he'd be looking for evidence of sentience from beyond our biosphere.

I don't believe in a deist god because I don't believe a loving God would be an absentee landlord, not revealing himself to us. If it is unethical for us to be absentee landlords it would for God too.

What do expect of God?

The God that gave you life, and everything to support it?

So how do you know it's god that's revealing itself to you? And how exactly does it do this?

Fortunately God reveals Himself so deism is false.
