The question of proving the existance of God scientifically in the modern age is a pointless exercise in frustration.
Key to scientific proof is acceptance of said proof. For most people, no such proof is required. For the rest, no such proof is acceptable despite its availability.
In the days prior to the explorations of C. Columbus, the European 'scientific' community had accepted the idea that the Earth was flat like a table. They rejected any notion of the earth as a globe despite the fact that evidence was clearly apparent. For example, ships that sail a few miles out to sea will disappear from view. The horizon is created by the curvature of the earth and that's why. Every other object in the sky is curved, including the moon which is clearly visible to the naked eye. In spite of clear and obvious evidence to the contrary, many scholars continued to believe that the Earth was the flat center of the universe.
The evidence of God is all around us. Some of it is observable and some is experiential. An incredible amount of evidence is testimonial.
The evidence of the existance of fools is also all around us. The only real question, therefore, is not whether God exists but whether or not fools should be considered as sources for scientific data.
Pro 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own conceit.
Pro 18:2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself.
