Which god? Do you really mean God when you say god (aka, the classical monotheist one-god of the Abrahamic religions) or do you mean any theology of the world's religions?

I feel it's a foregone conclusion. Why would we assume any entity exist because people claim it does? Unless you have a personal experience you think could be a god and want evidence of it's existence to know for sure? People arguing about his existence?

To me that's like say:

Joe: Hey Mike. Didn't you know nothing exist?

Mike: Nothing. What do you mean?

Joe: Yeah, see in this book right here. It talks about it. I think you should read it. You might get a spiritual experience from it.

Mike: Um. I just read "god created the earth". What is a god?

Joe: You don't know who god is? God can't be explained. He is the great I AM. He is nothing.

Mike: You keep saying this Nothing as if what's in this book is real. Can you explain the existence behind the definition of this word god? Can you explain the nature of nothing?

Joe: Umm.. but its god

Mike: I know. I know. What you can't explain (nothing) is called. You said the nature of god (defined) is nothing. Explain that. What does it look like? What does it feel like? Does it have a beard and a long nose with pimples?

Joe: I don't know the nature of god. You'd have to experience it.

Mike: How can I experience nothing? Can you see the logic in that?

Joe: Uum. But that's not the context.

Mike: Well, that's the only context I can think of. A literal one. Unless you can describe a better nature of him, all I know is you are experiencing nothing.

Joe: But it's god.

(Nods)

Mike: Okay. Guess we'll talk later about nothing.

Joe (shakes his head): Okay then.

Death is a little late to matter....

The Bible has a suggestion "Taste and see that the Lord is good"
how do you tell that honey tastes good? you put it on your tongue and see

Y'know, when I was a wee little Nietzsche, I was told not to put things in my mouth just because someone else said it was alright.

I don't think death is related to the matter of evidencing the existence of any deities, personally.

But if there are any real deities, odds are that they can be evidenced somehow. At least to the satisfaction of their believers.

Whether that involves proof as you mean the term in the opening post, I have no idea.

I wonder why anyone would want to convince anyone else of the existence of a specific deity. It is quite unnatural an idea IMO.

I think people who have had Near Death Experiences will tell you there is something God-like out there. What that something is exactly may be more than we can fully understand. But I do believe there is something even before I die.

How would that apply to proving God's existence specifically? Wouldn't that merely subjectively prove that you think God is good?

At least it will be quite a show until everything goes completely dark.

What if death only proves that your whole life up to that point was a dream and you wake up in the Matrix?

Is death the only way to prove the Matrix?

Meh, an overhead hospital lamp and the last dream before death is easily understandable.

Perhaps coming back from the dead could prove if there is any afterlife or not. But just dying doesn't prove anything, people die every minute.
