Welcome to EvC One4Truth,
You aren't really addressing the point of the
original discussion.
This thread is dealing with whether God allows or doesn't allow his existence to be scientifically substantiated.
The questions in the original OP are:
OP writes:
Do you think God is determined to allow no proof or evidence of his existence -- or do you think that God is determined to allow ample proof or evidence of his existence?

How much evidence is there that your great-great-great grandparents existed?
Actually I have a photo of my 3rd great grandfather and I've been to the burial site of my 3rd great grandparents. I also have a paper trail back to my 13th great grandfather. This is just one line of my father's paternal side.
This
house of my 10th great grandfather from my father's maternal line still stands in New York.
A couple of houses that one of my 3rd great grandfathers, on my father's maternal side, built are still standing.
I have in my possession the Bible of my 3rd great grandmother, with their family photos in them.
So you see, I have no problem physically substantiating the existence of my 3rd great grandparents. I also know where they are all buried.

And in 1,000 years, or even 100 years from now, how much evidence will there be that YOU existed!?
Granted as time passes evidence diminishes, but I am not a god. I will not always exist.
Supposedly God is existing, not existed. So the point is, does the living God allow evidence of his current existence to be scientifically substantiated to where belief is not necessary to understand that God currently exists?
