God has made his presence clearly known, it's people who refuse to acknowledge him that are the cause of war.

a) God the Father has never been recorded leaving Heaven. Why? I know not.
b) even if God were to show Himself in a visible form there would still be people too blind to realize that He's God. Like scientists would say "oh, it was an interesting scientific phenomenon", and psychologists would say "we all percieved a notion of an eternal being at the same time", and atheists would say "it didn't happen".
c) wars wouldn't end cuz God shows up. truthfully, people are more likely to try and kill God! and sometimes, our actions limit the amount of contact we have with God, so....

Humanity, for the most part, has so clearly told Him "we want to di it OUR way", they don't want Him in the schools, nor on public property, nor in town councils, etc., etc. They claim how with their God-given intelligence, etc. they can work out every problem without Him and without His help.
You want Him to show "some proof". What kind of proof? legal proof? philosophical proof? historical proof? documentary evidence/proof? empirical proof? cosmological evidence/proof?
teleological evidence/proof? ontological evidence/proof?
anecdotal evidence/proof? scientific evidence/proof?
mathematical proof? etc.
He has shown many proofs.
He made the heavens and the earth.
After 120 years of warnings, He sent a global flood.
He, in grace and mercy, brought the Hebrews out of captivity and slavery in Egypt.
In Mercy He became incarnate, made Atonement for our Sins, rose the third day from the dead .... what more "proof" do you want? St. John 20:30 and 31: "In the presence of the talmidim Yeshua performed many other miracles which have not been recorded in this book. But these which have been recorded are here so that you may trust that Yeshua is the Mesiah, the Son of God, and that by this trust you may have life because of who he is".
He has done many wonderous and marvellous works, wonders, miracles, signs, "proofs".
Maybe you are asking "but what has He done recently?"
He has given warning that when He does "come out" (or "come down here" He will come in Judgement of all those who have not accepted the Saviour He provided. When He comes He will shake the heaven and the earth.
Yes, when He comes, He will end all the wars. He will come as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He will come as the Prince of Peace. He is "longsuffering", not willing that any should perish. But when they have utterly rejected Him, He will come in Judgement.
Are you ready for that?

God is an invisible essence in whose image we are made. Our rational soul is in the image of God. It is our puzzle solving mechanism as well as our soul. You can think in the abstract and comprehend the intangible as a result of its being. Instead of God coming out of some closet why don't you change your point of view slightly so that you may see the evidence of God.

The unsaved often want a "sign" from God. This is in spite of the testimony of creation, their conscience, the Bible, and the Christian. The cross is the only thing that can truly convince a sinner of the reality of who Jesus is. Once they understand that the holes in His hands and His feet are there because of their own sin, they will fall at His feet and cry, "My Lord and my God!"

Maybe you should say a prayer in earnest and ask him. Maybe one day he will surprise and show you a answer in a dream or by the war ending. People started this war not God, dear.

life with in itself is a test. as we know nothing in this life is easy to come by. god does not need us we need god. at least that is what my religion teaches. god sent prophets over time. sent three books the torah and bible and the quran. as a muslim i see the prophesies comming true. as well as many things in the quran have been proven accurate. so there for what more proof do i need? think about it your mother and father tell you to do things in order to ensure you obtain a good future they tell u this because they want you to suceed. this is why allah has sent us prophets that have spoken to us to teach us right and wrong. it is us to obey or dis obey. how ever we have to deal with the out come either god or bad. remember it was us who make the decisions in our lives that will effect the out come of our soul.

Because God wants us to believe in Him by faith. It wouldn't take faith to believe in something or someone that you can see. But just because you can't see something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You can't see the air, but it's still there. You can't see the human soul and there's no scientific proof that it exists, but does that mean that we have no souls? What allows us to enjoy music, feel emotions, and is the one main thing that sets us apart from the animals? Our soul. It takes faith to believe that these things and you can't see, touch, taste, feel, or hear exist. But they do.
"Faith is the realization of things hoped for, the full assurance of things not seen." Heb. 11:1

Oh but he already has! Haven't you heard the saying " you have to believe it before you'll see it"!! This one falls into that category.
If you believe in him and all he has to offer. You'll see miracles daily! If you don't, You try to chalk so many things up to coincidence! God doesn't do "coincidence"!
