The proof of God is a paradox. If He came in and showed you His face without giving you any room to doubt, it would be tantamount to enslaving you. This would not be loving. God does not create 4-sided triangles. God cannot trespass in a mind.
Consider this to re-imagine the idea of proof:
The proof that our legs are built for running is seen best in the beauty of a runner's legs.
Humans created the concept of the triangle as a shape with three angles and therefore three sides by definition. There are no four-sided triangles because a shape with four sides is by definition a quadrangle. Beauty is a much better place to argue from, but I still don't see how it would require a god in any way.
Plato would say that humans discovered the three-sided triangle, as it was always guaranteed to exist in a logical universe from the moment it started.
I was an atheist-in-all-but-name for most of my life. Hear me when I say, not all Christians are Christian, and not all who see the face of God call Him God. A beautiful human identity expresses the fruit of the relationship.
The proof of God can never be delivered to someone who believes more strongly that there is no proof than that there might be.
It's not proof if you need to already accept it beforehand.
