Me thinks the OP would be best served reading something like -

Exploring the Scientific Method: Cases and Questions by Steven Gimble


Or even the more rudimentary -

A Beginner's Guide to Scientific Method by Stephen Carey


Most of his misconceptions are addressed in these books.

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.
