God belief is no different than convincing a kid Santa is real. If you want to believe it badly enough, no matter how false, you will.
Now it is still NOT up to me to prove shit, so get your god claim in a lab or shut up, either way it is still not up to me to do your homework for you.
All he asked for was a citation for a scientific paper/scientific text/scientific anything which he could use to educate himself about the things you mention here. He's trying to do his homework. Care to help him out by pointing in the direction of the scientific evidence? If not, are you expecting him to just take you on authority?
