People test Him all the time. Here's a sure-fire method: Simply ignore His will, sin all you'd like, and you'll find out what His response is.
(Hint: It involves physical and spiritual death.)

Are you serious? You may not even have gotten to read this but like the others have said, you do not test God. If you were smart, you would praise him for letting you have everything you have in your life. The more you praise him, the more blessings you receive. Be smart. Do the right thing. It may not always be the most popular idea to worship God, but in the end, you will be glad you did.
Do some research on 2 cities in the Middle East - Sodom and Gomorrah. They are located or should I say "were" located in or about the same place as the Caspian Sea. That's just some proof that God does exist and created all things. He can create and can also take away.
Ever heard of "Noah's Arc". God created the world but didn't like the way the people had turned out. They had turned wicked. One man and his family were righteous. It was Noah, his wife, his 3 sons and their wives. God instructed Noah to build this huge sailing vessel to protect his family and 2 of each animal on Earth (male and female) from the massive flood that he was going to send to the Earth to destroy it. The people of the town who were wicked, came and laughed as Noah and his family built the arc. They thought he was crazy. It took them years and years to build the arc. When they finished. Noah and family gathered up 2 of each animal and got onto the vessel and locked the door. Soon it began to rain. The people banged on the door of the arc, but they were not let in. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights straight. Noah and his family were the only ones spared from the devestation. Still don't believe. They have found what appears to be the actual arc in he icy mountains of Turkey, exactly on the path of where the arc would have been headed. Researchers studied a piece of wood from the "find" and concluded that it was about 5,000 years old. About the same time the arc would have made the journey.
The list of miracles and so called tests are too numerous to mention. They are all in the Bible, and they are true.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son
that whosoever BELIEVITH in HIM
should not PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE.
God Bless

Well, first of all, your not going to get anywhere with the mindset "I want the hard fact, the evidence! Let me see you!"
First, you need to have faith he is there. Then love him, worship him. Then ask him to show you something, or for him to talk to you. You need to thank him for life, even the negatives and downfalls. Just be a Christian and a servant for the LORD.
One time, when I was really struggling, I was praying at night and I reached my hand up and he grabbed it. I didn't see him, but I felt him holding my hand. And right before that, I had asked him to touch me.
All you have to do is believe and let God work in your life; don't try to take the easy road and think you can test the King of Kings, when all the while he is testing you.

Like all the other people have responded no you cannot test God. If you are a Christian and believe in God then you must also believe in God's letter to us; the Bible. If you have a Bible at home you may want to look up some texts to prove to you that God does not test nor can he be tested himself. One such test is Hebrews 11:1 which states, "Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld." In fact, in the past people have tried to test God. In the Bible it states that we should not. Matthew 4:7 says, "Jesus said to him: 'Again it is written, 'You must not put Jehovah your God to test.''" But if you really wanted to know if God exists then you can see his visible works; the sky, the trees, life, universe, and all creation. HIs fullfillment of prophecy proves God's exisistence. Does that answer your question?

Use a scan-tron. Multiple choice tests are usually pretty fair and accurate.
Really...you already know that there is no such thing as god, why bother with questions like this? You know the feeble minded will just give you meaningless answers like "God will test you" and they will tell you that they have proof that God existed because they can prove that Jesus existed. I have no doubt that Jesus existed, but he was not the son of God. He was just the first person to make that claim and people back then did not have science on their side to dispute it. There is a guy that walks the streets in my neighborhood that claims that he is the son of god as well...everyone calls him crazy. Why? What if he really is god's son too?
Mary was just a promiscuous skank....she got pregnant after sleeping around. Joseph said: "Hey Mary, we haven't even slept together yet, how in the hell did you get pregnant?", and she panicked and said "Um...it's um...well...um...God's baby. Yeah, that's right, God's baby, so don't mess with me Joseph!"
Joseph was a gullible idiot, like the rest of society, and he ate it up. Mary had to keep the charade going, so she told Jesus that god was his daddy...and mommies don't lie, so he said "Cool, I can use that".
Jesus was probably a pretty cool guy and did pretty cool stuff, and stories started going around about this guy and how he was god's son, and as the stories went around, things were embellished, facts were altered, and the stories became more and more like fairy tales. Then, a group of guys decided to write these stories down and society, being the mass of unintelligent drones that they are, took that book and it's stories literally...so governments and others in charge started using that book as a way to control the population and a way to make money.
And thus, the decay of free thinking ensued.
edit: The person who used "The Ark" as their proof of his existence merely proved my point of the vast amount of stupidity and brain washing in society. Think about all of the species of animals (there are over a million types of insects alone). Think about one man, Noah, walking around with...what, a net and a rope? Rounding up elephants in Asia and Africa as well a polar bears in Antarctica and kangaroos in Australia and putting them on a boat....a friggin boat!? Really? Are you serious? You've got to be kidding me!! When that fable you call the bible was written, it may have seemed semi-possible, because existence of so many species of animals was not known. It would have seemed almost feasible to build a vessel large enough to transport the few types of animals that the writers were familiar with...but you can't honestly think that there would be a boat large enough to carry 2 of every type of animal, and that it was built in only a few years....or maybe you honestly do think that it was possible, and that is sad.

People have been testing the existence of God for ages, and it seems that it can be a very dangerous activity.
For example, jumping off a cruise ship, and thinking that God will allow you to walk on water is not wise. Neither is jumping off a tall building thinking that God will allow you to fly. Both are considered acts of suicide rather than acts of faith.
Blindly believing in God (an alternative to testing) can be very costly too. The church can rob you of your heart, mind, and money. I've heard that some churches expect their believers to donate ten percent of their income to the church. You know, to help it further the work of God. Ha Ha. What a racket. Sounds to me like some church leaders might be IRS retirees who jumped on religion as a more profitable second career. Hey. It's legal. And tax free to boot.
I think that testing the existence of God is not nearly as wise as testing the existence of one's brain. And then using it.

Well- you've successfully irritated a bunch of religious people.
I tested the tooth fairy this week- and sure enough, i didn't put a coin under my daughter's pillow and yet one showed up there. So- I've proven to myself that the tooth fairy exists. (or maybe it was my wife that did it)
regardless- people believe what they want to believe.
You'd have just as difficult a time trying to convince those who believe in astrology that it isn't true. And- this has been studied and proven- that it's not true. There's plenty of data that shows there is absolutely no correlation between personality and when you were born- but it really doesn't matter.
People believe what they want to believe.

Find a cause that's important to you and is morally acceptable to Him and pray about it every day for a few months. As long as you are actively seeking a solution, keep at it.
You may be surprised to find something changes for the better.
But then again, that's not a test... it's just experiencing the power of prayer.

You don't test God. There is no way in hell to do that. People are on earth as a test for God to see if you deserve to enter his kingdom. All you have to do is have faith and believe. Seeing is no always believing. Some things people just have faith in and there is nothing wrong with that.

"God" isn't falsifiable, which is why science (and evolution) takes no position on him whatsoever.
Same with creationism
No observation inconsistent with"god" couldn't be argued away after the fact.
Just ask any theist for what evidence they would accept as proof that god doesn't exist. I've done that before here.
They admit that they will never accept evidence contradicting their god or creation.
