How would you respond to this argument: "Since science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God, then it's possible he exists"?

In my simplistic life and world the only proof I need to prove that there is a God is just being alive to contemplate that question.

Science cannot *prove* anything.

I might be able to disprove stuff, but cannot prove that anything it is evaluating has been true everywhere for all time.

The problem is, many people make arguments that something must be true until it is disproven. But the people misuse that because then they demand that anything that someone claims must be taken as face value and be true and it’s someone else’s problem to disprove. And they wash their hands of it.

It’s a very arrogant position to take and used by the intellectually lazy to shut down debate and declare themselves the winner.

Trusting science is also taken on faith.

Faith in the system, faith in the accuracy of it, faith in the reliability of the data, faith in the analysis of it, and faith in the scientist’s integrity.

They’re at proofs of God visible everywhere every day. If you don’t want to see them you won’t and you will ascribe others seeing them to wishful thinking.

Have a nice day.

Psalm 34:4, “ I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. “

Believing is seeing.

I define “sin” as any obstacle to Love in a person’s soul. If I reach out and take hold of a person’s sin in their soul, it physically moves their body even though I am several feet away.

Well, it is sin that Christ bore in His own sinless body, stretching out his hands in death. Meanwhile, something did get in your body, resulting in esoteric effluences of error, with your "secrets to the Kingdom," and of "raising your consciousness frequency through prayer and meditation to levels where you perceive directly with your consciousness beyond your physical body," with "actually raising your brain wave frequency above 40 Hz" being "the lifted or raised up Jesus spoke of," and "With enough meditation and prayer, anyone can make this journey to Heaven while still in your physical body,"

and with "liquid swirling golden Light around the woman" (who did not eat for 3 weeks), as ... "the Holy Spirit came upon her in a lower strength of Light and cleansed her soul for 3 weeks before she was pure enough to be in the Light of Heaven."

while "Merely touching a sin stored many feet from a person’s physical body in their soul often knocks the person off their feet,"

and with "the human soul being a dipolar field like the earth.(masculine and feminine). Thus the earth changes are causing souls to be unshackled, This is the cause of all the gender identity issues and high divorce rate in the recent years,"

Which, as said, is too close to such cultists as Swedenborg and the Roy Masters.

So And many psychic healers who actually did heal, including Arigo: Brazil's Surgeon of the Rusty Knife.

Basic answer is: it is easier to believe than not believe.
