It's funny that humans have to make excuses for a supposedly omnipotent being. If believing in this supposed god is so important, this god should understand our need for evidence.
Since deciding on what makes a positive outcome before the experiment is done reduces the effect of chance, religious believers don't like it. What they want is an "experiment" where they can decide the criteria after the fact. As long as something happens somewhere, they count that as a positive outcome.
Whenever a stringent test is done, the outcome is negative. Either this god doesn't care if we believe or doesn't exist. These negative outcomes I believe explicity argue against the Christian god.

God Give Me A Sign

God is fair. Please do not judge his hand. No one went to heaven before Jesus could present the sacrifice. There is going to be resurrections that will occur. 144,000 thousand will go to heaven to rule as Kings and Priest with Jesus in his Kingdom over the earth. Most have already died and gone on, the rest that have not gone by the time Armageddon comes will be changed in the twinkling of an eye and these will never sleep/die in death. They will be changed into spirit form. The rest of the dead will be resurrected back to the earth to have a second chance and these will be judged from that day forwards. Death is the equitable of sin (because of Jesus)so God does not drag up old stuff once it is forgiven. Those alive at Armageddon will either die because they refuse to learn the truth or they will live through it because they were obedient to the Good News of the Kingdom. No one will ever die or grow old again. In fact, we will grow young again. I can give you all the scriptures if you email me. I did not want to set here and do this one, but I felt a need to. I think if you did the research you will see the truth in this. I hope it is not to much at one time.

You have, in the Bible, the first hand testimony of those who experienced God in a very remarkable way. You have the first hand testimony of those who witnessed the miracles of Jesus, and the result of many of the OT prophesies. You have the prophecy given through John in the Book of Revelation and can see that the things that refer to the last days are coming true in our time. You have, in other words, every sign God SHOULD be expected to give you of truth, and you're either going to believe it or not. If you don't believe even after the witness of those who have seen the dead raised back to life, you wouldn't believe anything else even IF He did do it. I ask you, what would you consider a sufficient sign? You have the testimony of the Bible, creation itself, and the witness of your own conscience. If you won't believe these things, what could you possibly believe?!!

God is not into soothayer, or false teachings, You don't need a sign except God in your life by faith & Having the Holy Ghost, You can not tempt God in little things as you do. Yes God can do anything But don't tempt God into little things.

Honey, I tried that, too, a time or two back when I was still too spiritually immature to know better.
God isn't a poodle who does tricks for us.
We show our spiritual immaturity when we ask God to "perform" for us. It's nothing to be ashamed of; we are flawed humans and God loves and understands us...but He wants us to have FAITH because of who He is, not because of what He can do for you.
Make sure that you are seeking God's FACE, and not His hand.
Remember what Jesus said..."Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
Hang in there, keep praying and ask God to mature your faith....it may mean things will get tougher before they get better, but you'll be better off in the long run....believe me. I KNOW.

God has proved himself as a great artist and scientists and what not in his creation. He does not need to act upon our whims. If want to see signs look into the nature. Who has carved the leaves of trees in beautiful patterns. In short who has written DNA which shapes the bodies of all beings.

You can't determine what signs you will accept.
How about trying to be open to however God wants to reach you?

YOU..... didn't want a Sign from GOD....!
HE.... GOD.... has Already SPOKEN..... FROM HIS WORD....!
DO YOU.... BELIEVE HIS WORD.... or.... NOT ?
(John 3:18-to-21) He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
(Joh 3:19) And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.
(Joh 3:20) For everyone who does evil = = hates the Light, = = and does not come to the Light, = = lest his deeds should be exposed.
(Joh 3:21) But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.
PERHAPS.... you shoud see my Blog / 360..... for How To Study the Bible...FIRST !
Thanks for Asking ! RR
