Oh, I understand that you believe you have the truth.
But how would you go about demonstrating that you do have the truth, and all those other sects of Christianity are wrong? Wouldn't they say that they're the ones with the truth of Christianity, and you are the one that got it wrong?
Please provide a method that can demonstrate that you are the one that got it right.
Not to mention, that yes, scientists do disagree on some aspects of theories. But what they don't disagree on is the demonstrable empirical evidence.
Example: some scientists tend to side with string theory, some don't. But they all agree with the evidence. They are in disagreement with where it leads.
Please share an example of theists all agreeing with the evidence, but not on the conclusion.
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.
