If God exists and he hid himself from us intentionally, then he didn't want us to know about him. He would know that if anyone came to the conclusion that he did exist, it was certainly not due to evidence, since he so cleverly obfuscated it.
But of course, someone's bound to guess it at some point whether he exists or not, just like if you asked a random number generator the answer to a mathematical expression, it's bound to get it right some of the time.

I ask the age old philosophical question..
Does knowledge cease to exist if the thinker of the knowledge ceases to exist?
Tree in the forest thing, just differently worded.
A rock does not perceive itself as influenced by gravity or it's place in the Universe, it just is.
Therefore if you take humans out of the equation, the Universe just is. It has no awareness at all of itself?
So the physical laws and the mathematical constants and the precision of it all cease to exist along with it?
Taking that a step further, it could be argued that the Universe has intelligence.
Human beings derived from it,
we think.
Therefore we are.
We are part of the Universe therefore the Universe has intelligence.
Why does Science attempt to take us out of the equation...we are an intricate part of the Universe.
