I doubt you are up to the challenge.
Evidence can be provided though it is somewhat subjective.

That has to be the most laughable statement I've ever heard.

You're not going to "prove God with science" if that's what you're after. Neither does science disprove God either, if anything science demonstrates the contingency of the universe.

It is not unreasonable to think think that things not proven to exist do not exist.

You can "prove it" within yourself you can't "prove it with science" you're presupposing that God is something that God can be demonstrated that way but that is a mistaken assumption. You can only demonstrate the existence of physical objects and energy through that method and God is neither.
