Even if a massive hand were to reach forth from the heavens and speak of salvation through a given path, what is to tell us that this is not some deception by "god's" twin brother, Tim, who is the prince of beastiality and seashells?
Again, I've mentioned this before, but there's no way to tell "God" apart from a technologically advanced alien (I think it was Carl Sagan who proposed this originally). If God came down to Earth tomorrow, any miracles that he might perform could potentially be attributed to a piece of technology that we have no understanding of. It could even be a biological feature that allows him to manipulate matter and is particular to his race (a la energy beings from Star Trek or something).

The excuse that "god is beyond out comprehension" is a two way road, as it means we, not even in our supposed afterlives will know what the flying fuck is going on. On the other hand, if god is within our comprehension, then eventually it could be proven or disproven.
I think that if humans survive long enough, we will eventually know everything, or at least enough to say that we know everything compared to what we know right now. Might take millions of years, but whatever.

There's nothing that humans can't understand eventually.
