If god is real, why does he refuse to prove it? I’ve been looking for proof for over 50 yrs,, nada, nothing. Kinda like Obama and his birth certificate. Why not just show up and prove it?

MrPiper, I submit to you that God has given proof of His existence time and time again. First, there is the magnificense of this universe we live in - it either got here by creating itself out of nothing - or, Someone created it out of nothing.
Second, God entered time and human history as a infant, lived among us, taught us about His love, performed many miracles to show He was who He said He was, died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead.
Third, the witness of millions of believers for over two thousand years - and, yes, the same can be said of other faiths - but, there is not denying the impact Christianity has had on the world and especially western civilization.
Fourth, there is the written witness of the Bible that has withstood the test of time and scrutiney. It has demonstrated itself to be archologically compatable with history, the texts we have are reliable, and able to change the hearts of people.
You seem to think that the existence of evil disproves God - but, you must remember that unless God gave us the freedom to choose or reject Him - then, we would just be robots. We are the ones who choose to do evil - not God. So, at least put the blame where it belongs.
Psalm9:9
And the Lord is become a Refuge for the poor: a Helper in due time in tribulation. 10 And let them Trust in Thee who know thy name: for thou Hast Not Forsaken Them that Seek thee, O Lord."
Many years ago I asked God if He really existed where I would know that I know. I worked in lower Manhattan. I asked this for real and reminded God on a commuter train. I went to do my daily work rounds. I took a break in a Lobby of a building. Sitting in area where people could sit. Well as I sat I heard a rush of a wind and a paper floating on the air slowly before my eyes like an unseen hand waving this paper to get my attention. It landed slowly going back and forth in between my feet like it wanted my undivided attention. There it was before me. I picked it up. I started to read believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be baptised to be saved. It was a tract from a pentocostal church in Brooklyn NY. I said this prayer before on this tract but I said it again. Later after work in this building I went downstairs to the subway for the commute home. As I was on the subway platform a Man in a clerical clothing came behind me. He told me God wants me to talk to you. He told me things he did not know about me. He told me to believe and live for Christ. I asked should I leave the Church that I go to he said know it's the main branch of Christianity. To make a long story short he was from a Pentacostal church in brooklyn the same church in the tract paper. I did not divulge this to him that was between the good Lord and my self. Now for you to know.
Let go and let God. Do not give up hope. Really ask and you shall receive.
Praise Jesus!
Amen! Amen! - Amen means So Be It!

He did. Blood was the used for the remission of sin, a lamb with no blemish. Jesus is the Lamb of God, died on Calvalry for remission of all mankind’s sin, was raised again on the third day.
He’s coming back.
I pray for you that the Holy Spirit who is still on earth, for a time, speaks to your heart.

Watch as how He protects Israel in the coming months or years and you will see the proof. In fact, you may want to read Isaiah 19 to see what He said about what will happen in Egypt.
“Why not just show up and prove it?”
He will. Then it will be too late. Forced repentance isn’t repentance, and forced obedience isn’t God’s desire from man.
