We can't prove the existence of God.
Then what is your justification to believe 'God' exists?
Quote: the science have nothing to say about his existence
As soon as theists claim that their god continues to interferes with this universe in the form of answered prayer, miracles, personal communication, etc, they are making claims that are testable. This puts such a god squarely in the purview of science.
There are millions of people that claim to directly communicate with some god or another. Such people are claiming to be 'god detectors'. That is a testable claim. Millions of people claim their prayers are answered. These people are claiming to be 'god manipulators'. That is another testable claim.
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.
