Well, generally, people see what they believe. I noticed that mostly only people who believe in ghosts claim to "see" them. I don't believe in ghosts, and therefore haven't been exposed to even a shred of evidence that they exist.
Same with God. You can't see him, of course, but sometimes I think that he has a hand in things I do. For instance, there was a peculiar incident in which I was telling my household members that I needed to type an essay for school and hence had to use the computer. In reality, I needed to print out a picture not at all related to English.
My mother was on the couch as I was printing out the decoy essay and the picture just below it. Just as I thought that I'd gotten away with it, she asked, "What's that picture?"
I gave a strangled "Uhh..." and thought for a while, then I blurted out, "I've got to go to the bathroom" and fled.
Once safe (for the moment) I got onto my knees and prayed as hard as I could for God to do something so that I don't have to show the picture to my mother (it wasn't offensive or anything, if you really must know, it was Oddworld, and I recall explaining that Oddworld really pisses my mother off).
And something really did happen. Not outside me, nothing corporeal. You all must think I am being very superstitious, but from then on I believed that God gave me...an idea. It isn't like me to have good ideas while thinking quickly. That is why I am not particularly witty in conversation and usually pause before speaking. I tend to come up with good ideas when I am relaxed and have time to think.
So I came out, and I said that it was this project for biology, since we were studying heredity (which we had in reality studied in 7th grade). It really did work, and I wonder at it till this day.
Perhaps it was just a burst of inspiration that has nothing to do with the heavens.This is what it seems to many outsiders.
I am not trying to convert people in any way...I simply told of an incident which set me thinking, "Does God really exist?"
