Most people who believe in God or have a religious faith of some kind do not come to it through "proving" the existence of God/Heaven or Hell. It's generally by a non-rational faculty.

Kant wrote a thick tome proving this to everybody which really ought to have been blindingly obvious to anyone who has any understanding of religion.
