Does God exist, yes or no... I can't find conclusive evidence, either one is possible
There are several things I'd like to point out here.
I am sure you've heard this before, you've been here long enough. But agnosticism only tells us what you claim is unknown, or unknowable, It doesn't say anything about what you believe.
Beliefs is all about what you are convinced (accept as being true or likely true) or unconvinced of.
As far as atheism or theism goes, if you are currently convinced that at least one god exists, you are a theist, ANYTHING elso is atheism.
So, by your own words, "I don't accept a claim unless it is proven", you are defining yourself as an atheist. At least an implicit atheist.
And NO, it may not be possible for a god to exist. Possibility has to be demonstrated, not asserted. Just because something is not logically impossible, does not mean it becomes possible, by default. How do you know that the existence of a god is possible?
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.
