I agree with you that it is impossible to test for God. To do so would be (in my opinion) against both science and religion. Science is used to gain knowledge about the world around us (and the universe as a whole) by natural means. So by definition, any supernatural being is outside of science. Religion is based on faith. Faith is to believe in something though you dont have absolute knowledge about it. So if you have absolute proof about God, faith would be void, and religion would cease to exist because it would just be a fact.This is not how this works in Science or math. By that logic, I can "prove" faeries exists, the invisible unicorn exist, we really do reincarnate as bouhdist believe (I think?), and so on and so forth. This is certainly not the level of evidence I would accept, and not suitable in science either.
I don't have enough time to enter into the details, but I think you misunderstand the impossibility of testing omnipotence: by definition of omnipotence (i.e. God can do everything), you simply cannot test it.
btw you were right, buddhists believe in reincarnation. It is different from believing that your soul goes into another being after death (such as hinduism believes). Just FYI
