I don't think you really understand science or religion. You really can't prove that god exists. You can't prove he doesn't exist either. Where's you scientific proof that god doesn't exist? Trying to disprove or prove gods existence is pseudoscience. You can't prove something you can't measure or interact with.
I'm not really a religious person and don't believe in the bible or any other holy book for that matter. There's many holes and things that can be shown to be false in these books. But that's beside the point. Despite a religion having holes in its belief structure you still can't disprove gods existence anymore than you can confirm it.
The burden of proof lies upon those making statements that something exists. Claiming that a God exists simply because we can't disprove him is the same as saying that there are invisible pink unicorns which don't interact with anything are flying around our atmosphere, or that there is a teapot floating through space in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. You can't prove either doesn't exist, so by your logic they must. Same with Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Loch Ness monster, or any of the hundreds of other Gods that are believed in across the world.
There are a set of standards in science. One of which is the burden of proof. Ball is in your court. Prove a God exists through scientific means, or else he doesn't.
