Because there are no material observables that unmistakably, unambiguously show God's existence to the curious and unbiased observer. There have been some "scientific proofs of God" bandied about, but they invariably hinge on Constraint of Premise. "If we observe this, well then it has GOT to mean ... that." (Popular and timely example. "Lifeforms are so astoundingly complex and beautiful that they can't possibly have happened by pure accident.") Constraint of Premise is a basic human tendency - but it is flawed logic.
