What experiment would you suggest I perform?
I know of no scientific experiment that can falsify the hypothesis "God exists". If the creator God exists then everything we study in a lab is the product of God's will (this has been the motivation for very many scientists over the years; to think God's thoughts after him, as Kepler famously said). If God doesn't exist then nothing in the lab is the product of his will. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts about how we might test between those possibilities. It sounds like it should be simple, but I've yet to hear of anyone who designs an experience to test for God in the lab.
For me science explores the nature and behaviour of 'creation'. And I love it
