If science says that we don't know everything, then science can never say there is no God, right? Scientifically you have to be open to the possibility unless there's proof there is no God. If you have no proof against there being a God and the hypothesis is presented, then true science would have to at least be open to testing the hypothesis.
Who says there is no proof for God? Your proof that I posted here is what? You have a written account of my post. I have written accounts from believers and non-believers of a historical person claiming to be God who worked miracles, died, and three days later walked around claiming to have risen from the grave. At a minimum those written accounts are enough proof to form a hypothesis that there is a God.
Don't misunderstand faith. It is not believing something without reason. The Bible is not one book but 66 books by over 40 authors from widely varied backgrounds written over a span of 1500 years that are in complete agreement over who God is and what he requires of us. Just reading the scriptures and seeing how each author's writing, from people who never knew each other and never shared their thoughts or writings, can be used to cross reference each other without ever contradicting is certainly not a leap in the dark. What other religion has that? None. Have scientists over 1500 years even accomplished that? Your beloved scientists are all searching for the truth about this world and have over 1500 years come up with widely varying ideas. The writers of scripture are considered trustworthy about truth to this day, even by many scientists.
