I dunno about your situation in the US, but here in Italy, the Senate has 315 members, none of whom is particularly trustworthy...

Now I'm convinced you're just trolling.

The renowned astronomer George Ellery Hale claimed to have been visited repeatedly by an elf that climbed through his window. The elf told him to apply to the Rockefeller Institute for funding to build the then world's largest telescope.
Do we take the elf's existence as real, purely on Hale's credentials? Not to mention the very real telescope.
The man has clearly preformed scientific experiment on the negative of the photograph, documented every procedure he used, and found that there had to be a light at that position to strike the negative, the only conclusion is the supernatural, because lights just don't hang over peoples heads normally.
But I like the fact that when presented with scientific evidence, you refuse to acknowledge it.

The Senate has 100, the House of Representatives has 535. Neither is taken seriously.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

How desperate you must be, to rely on such poor 'evidence' of god
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“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
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

who said I rely on it? I was asked for a scientific study and I provided one, simple as that.

Really? I like the fact that you think what you present should be swallowed wholecloth (sorry - horrible mixed metaphor) before it's been established actually to be "scientific evidence". Not to mention that you expect it to be above scrutiny and criticism.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
