Well, is it rational or not? Even the Christians need a “sign.” They claim the presence of the Holy Spirit. The modern-day version of Gnosticism “I know, and you don’t.”
The Holy Spirit is not a "sign" - He is a Person, He is God. The Jews wanted miracles, the Greeks wanted logic. The subtext is condescension.
Christians, on the other hand, spiritually know God and are known of God.
There is no substitute.

Yes, He is, but His presence is a sign.
