I had the notion/idea that people usually win a Nobel prize for scientific discoveries.
Like Albert Einstein for example, or Ada Yonath that discovered the structure of the Ribosome, or Dan Shechtman that discovered a new crystal structure.
Maybe I was wrong.

No, that's not nonsense, smart people usually don't believe in God.
There are Nobels given for economics, medicine, literature, peace. Scientists tend to be atheists, those other categories, not so much.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the difference in IQ ratings between theists and atheists only are only about 3-4 points. And that from very limited studies.

Yep.
The percentage of atheists in the sciences are higher in 2020 than they were in 1920.
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.
