Well now that's not entirely true. After all, if god is all powerful as he is claimed to be, surely he could find a way. If nothing else, maybe he could show up for a visit.
I've got a Mormon friend who informed me that I'm on the road to hell. However, if I die and when I meet god I acknowlege that he definitely exists, I'll get into heaven. I had to point out to him that I will have a much easier time KNOWING that god exists if god actually shows up and has a chat with me.
Were he to be so accessible, we would have scientific evidence pointing to his existence - namely we would be able to observe him.
No one questions whether I exist because they can see me and therefore have solid evidence that I do exist (I'm not getting into the "does anything exist" philosophies here). Were god a regular visitor, so to speak, few would question him either unless evidence came up to suggest that he was not as he seemed.
