Can anyone give me a scientific reason not to be a "believer"?

SURE - Dozens
Example - it is NOT POSSIBLE for a being to be ALMIGHTY and All Knowing
Where to start
How about Luke 1:37 NOTHING is impossible with god
THe claim is that your ALL Knowing god can do everything without exception
However - today I am writing a reply to a question you posed that I had NO prior knowledge of - nor did I have prior knowledge that I would YOU would post the question
Now - what can your ALL KNOWING god do that IT had NO prior knowledge of?
I have that power - and so do you - but your all knowing god CANNOT have that power - so it cannot be almighty
Now - if a god is ALL KNOWING - can it do something it other than what it already knows.
IF the god knows everything - past - present - and future - it can ONLY do what it already knows - to remain all knowing.
TO claim that these examples are meaningless is simply an excuse - either the god can do everything that is claimed or it cannot -
And the problem is that there are literally thousands of things that are "direct opposites" - that which the ability to do one - prevents the ability to do the opposite.
Take your bible - and read it from page one - and write down ALL the claims of attributes of the god. IT does not take much of a scientist to determine that they cannot ALL be true.
