By 'intensely researching' do you mean at the university level? Or reading a bunch of pseudoscience websites and some popular science books written for the layman?
Here's a question for you.
Why are the scientists that actually understand the fields you are 'intensely researching', working in those fields everyday, dedicated their lives to studying, overwhelmingly atheists? 72% of them in the latest study. 92% of the elite scientists in the National Academy of Science.
What evidence are you, some random, non-scientist internet poster able to see that the majority of scientists aren't?
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.
