I wish him well, but I don’t think God made it that easy, not at least in the way he’s probably thinking about proving it.
You know God at one point in the Old Testament was going to live among Israel, and as his glory shown over the mountains the people became afraid and begged him to go away.
Also, at what point do you cease to have free will. If God manifests himself in such a way that you can’t choose to disbelieve, then do you choose to do good because it’s good, or do you choose to do good, because you have to?

Bless this kid! John 20:29 Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.”
I once read a 790 page book by Hans Kuhn on “Does God Exist?”.
He offered proof after proof that God existed. But after each, he presented a counter argument. He finally concluded that you couldn’t prove God existed, but that God could reveal himself to you.
Of course I’m sure it wasn’t exhaustive. And some of the arguments, I thought were pretty strong.
