According to scripture, god controls everything. If I roll die, not in the sense of a game, just as a test, and say God, let the result be 2 if you truly exist, and it comes out 1, why would god deny his existence? If, we simply do not know his plan, that incident alone is likely to pull someone away from god, thus meaning if that is Gods plan, he has a plan for who goes to heaven and who goes to hell predetermined.
With this, how can we be so sure god exists?

You've trapped yourself in a false choice. If God's omniscient and predetermined everything, then your die roll outcome was always part His plan, including your doubt. Complaining the result doesn't match your demand is like blaming a chess grandmaster for not playing your move. The real problem: you're testing God like he's obligated to perform on command. Scripture doesn't promise divine dice tricks. What it does claim is that faith requires uncertainty, not empirical proof. You're asking for evidence that would eliminate faith entirely. So the question isn't whether God exists, it's whether you actually want belief or just a parlor trick.
