Science would be interested in testing God if He were scientifically testable. The religious scientists would be particularly interested, but even the nonreligious ones would.
So Jenny, have you thought about the possibility of you being wrong? Of you one day realizing that your experiences of God are invalid and not real? I suspect that if this happens actually, it won't be a sudden realization - what will probably happen is that sense of conviction that you feel God exits and your trust in the validity of your experiences over time, will fade away. I only hope that one day you will see the light!
i suppose if God stopped communicating with me for a long length of time i could begin to doubt . i hope someday you will experience it and see the light 
... communicating?
(THANK YOU! YES! YES! FINALLY!)
So... you hear God? Could you elaborate?

1. There are very few of those.

Because you're confused by science, which is vast, complex and only truly understood by a handful of people, in small parts, that each takes a lifetime of commitment to research, while the "god" umbrella gives you an illusion of understanding everything, without bothering with the "details".
Because you're afraid of death, so any idea that suggests you won't really die seems more acceptable than cold, hard facts.
Because you're bored.
I didn't say all of those reason apply to everyone.
and what about people who believe in God whos parents were atheists and they did not receive any indoctrination in childhood or adulthood but yet believe in God ?
i was not indoctrinated as a child or as an adult in any religion
just because you personally have met very few such people doesnt answer the question of why these people believe in God ....

I am literally trembling with excitement to hear the answer.

As we've already established - I am the creator of the Universe, since my claim has not been proven to be a hoax. So there...

Ah but you can't be because if you were then you would already know you were communicating with her.
Check and mate.
