which is why you cant look to science for wisdom its so limited unless your content with the limitations of science
Please do not make the mistake of thinking that we rely on science for everything in our lives. But when people make existential claims for the existence of a god, such as you do, science sure comes in handy for determining whether the claim has any validity or not.
There are plenty of sources for wisdom that don't rely on being gullible, and believing in things for which the only evidence you seem to be able to present is 'feelings'.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
