You've touched on a topic that involves not only technology and evidence but also philosophy, theology, and belief systems, which are often explored and debated in communities beyond those based solely on technology. The existence of God and the evidence thereof have been subjects of scrutiny, debate, and faith for millennia.

From a technological and empirical standpoint, many people expect that if an entity such as God interacts with the world, there should be observable phenomena or evidence that can be documented, tested, and verified following scientific methods. The lack of such evidence, as perceived by some, can be seen as a basis for skepticism regarding the claims made in religious texts like the Bible.

However, from a theological or philosophical perspective, many would argue that the nature of God is beyond the scope of empirical science, suggesting that God's presence and interaction with the world could be non-physical or metaphysical, which would make it not subject to direct measurement or observation using scientific tools. For believers, faith often does not require empirical evidence; experiences, personal convictions, and scriptural testimonies may hold more weight than what is traditionally considered empirical evidence.

The disconnect between faith-based belief systems and empirical evidence is an ongoing topic of discussion and is approached differently across various cultures, religions, and individual perspectives. Some people see religion and science as separate domains that answer different kinds of questions, while others seek to find harmony between the two. It's a deeply personal and often complex discussion that has been evolving with society and technology over the centuries.
