This article addresses the question of whether G od's existence would be obvious to everyone if G od performed more miracles. I conclude that it would not be so. I look at cases where people have been confronted with what they believe to be miracles and have either not come to believe in G od, or have come to intellectual belief in G od but declined to follow him. G od's existence could be made undeniable not by spectacular signs, but only by G od impressing his existence upon us in a direct, non‐propositional way.
