What if I was to say your "proof" only exists in Science?
Since science comes to conclusions based on the evidence, existing only in science is a positive comment.

What definitve evidence is there for your "proof"? Give me proof that will change my belief - which is impossible.
All the evidence required to disabuse someone of their religious beliefs is available from a number of sources. If you have decided beforehand that it would be impossible to alter your opinions, then you aren't approaching the evidence with an open mind, and by doing that you're assuring the failure of it convincing you. That's not a problem with the evidence but with its reception.
