Can you provide independently verifiable scientific evidence for your close encounter? If not, why should that which you think you say be taken seriously by anyone? What is the more likely: that you indeed saw a supernatural event that has eluded the grasp of brightest minds and sharpest tools of science for millenia, or that you simply for neurobiology reasons thought you saw something that you really didn't?

Im not sure you got what he was saying. Unless this is an anti-god topic

You pretty much explained what us agnostics believe. The point is it cant be done, no one can prove 100% that god is real or not real. Pointless to discuss

Can you explain how science could be used to verify or disprove the existence of God?

I'm not a scientist but if something exists its existence can be proven.

I don't think that's exactly how science works.

If science can't prove that God exists then nothing can. It's up to those who believe he exists to prove that he does. It can only be done through verifiable evidence. There isn't even any circumstancial evidence.

What is the reason that believers need to prove that He does?

Theists make empirical claims about gods all the time. As a Christian, you believe that human parthenogenesis is possible, that water can be turned into wine, that the sun has stopped in its orbit across the sky, that someone who has been clinically dead for three days can come back to life, that believes can drink poison and not get harmed and so on.

All of these are (false) empirical claims.

Religion and God are two separate entities. You can
debunk a religion. But that would in no way disprove or prove the existence of God. That said, everything you stated above are merely claims made by the Bible and obviously preposterous. But that makes it easy for you to refute religion. Not God. Because God is an immutable and separate entity within the realms of reality as we percieve.
