If Christians have had 2,000 years to prove god exists, why have they still been unable to provide irrefutable undeniable evidence of his existence?

1. Atheists and Secularites in the West seem to believe that either attacking Christianity or the Bible can somehow disprove the existence of a God, entity or intelligent designer. They often forget about Theism, Deism and Pantheism.
2. Looking at the Biblical view, we have many, many examples where irrefutable proof of God was provided. The ten plagues of Egypt, the Red Sea, the resurrections performed by Elijah and Elisha, the striking down of the Assyrian army, and the Miracles performed by Jesus to name some. Yet, there was murmuring, there was following after false gods, there were those who yelled for Jesus to be killed.
3. The naturalistic materialists have already locked their own minds to seeing the irrefutable, undeniable evidence of Gods existence. Perhaps my favorite illustration comes from C.S Lewis, a former Atheist turned Christian by his colleague J.R.R Tolkien. It comes from the final Narnian Chronicle, had has to do with the Dwarf’s refusal to see, believe and acknowledge Aslan and his doings.
4. There is proof of the existence of a grand designer of, not only the universe, but of life itself. Humans have an innate ability to separate what is clearly designed from that which is not. Mount Rushmore, for example. A house in the woods.

What would be irrefutable, undeniable evidence to you, a memo, written on a God letterhead? A voice, calling out from heaven? A worldwide natural disaster? The point is, this evidence, to you, might not be undeniable to everyone. What IS irrefutable is that everything obviously had a maker.
No one looks at a house, and assumes it just magically appeared out of the ground. That would be ridiculous.
Likewise, with a tree, in front of that house. We know it was planted. We also know that that particular tree came from another tree. What about the very first tree to appear on the earth? Do we assume that it magically popped up because there was no tree before It? No. Logic dictates that it had to be created or built by someone because
something is not creative.
A house does not create another house, just as a tree doesn't have the intelligence to create another tree. A tree grows because a seed is planted; either by hand, or by being dropped from the tree itself. But, by simply dropping a seed, a tree is not creating another tree. The outcome IS another tree. God provided for some plants to survive by dropping seeds at just the right time. No other way this could've happened.
