This has doubtless been explained to you many times, but I will repeat it again. It is you that is making the positive claim that a god exists, we are simply reacting to that claim and saying we don't believe you. It is up to you to provide evidence for your claim, we don't have to provide evidence that you are wrong. Lets do an example: I say to you: 'I have a real living unicorn in my pocket, prove that I don't'. You see how ridiculous that is. You could claim anything is real if the only basis for believing in something is that you can't prove it doesn't exist.

At least I have personal experience to prove my Faith. What do you have? Nothing...literally nothing.There is plenty of evidence, reliable, valid, accurate, peer reviewed, published evidence. Just because you choose to ignore its existence does not mean it doesn't exist.

There are no absolute facts in science. We can be reasonable certain to a degree but science never claims total knowledge.
So your basis for believing that science is wrong, is that it has been wrong in the past? Have you not been wrong in the past about facts? But despite this, you still trust your own judgement?

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
