This might be entirely un-knowable, but can be interesting to think about.
The Bible tells us about plenty of times God has intervened in supernatural ways. But all that was before there were cameras and computers everywhere recording so much. Can you imagine what NASA would say if the sun stood still today? Or if Elija was live-streaming the showdown on Mt. Carmel? Or if Jesus's DNA got sequenced?

- God might try to avoid getting caught in the act. Maybe so that we're still walking by faith not by sight.
- Maybe God just does whatever He wants and would modify records and memories as He sees fit if there was more proof lying around than He wanted.
- Maybe God has always done plenty from behind the scenes. Behind the scenes might mean different things as science and technology change. But no matter how big our telescopes and particle colliders get, there seem to be some limits to what we could ever observe (Heisenberg, dark energy, etc.).
- Maybe God's in a kind of stealth mode for a while - giving more people a chance to decide to have faith before being overt and obvious in the end times.
