I'm curious to see what your answers to this are.
Well, for theists the first question is nonsense. You can't prove a negative.

For the second, depends. Could merely be a powerful alien, and second if he told me to live like the OT I would tell him to piss off. Rather burn in hell then spend the rest of eternity praising a pyschopath, no matter how powerful.
