The very difference between Hinduism and westersn religions is profetism and Human expression of GOD. Profetism says that it is revelation of GOD and there is no second truth. But human expression of GOD varies from person to person. As long as you eccept that it is Human expression of GOD, you accept other expressions of GOD and GOD realization. Hinduism never claims that it is ultimate truth.
Even today, Hindu leaders dont say that it is written in scriptures and I did not invent it. Hinduism has freedom that no other western religions has. Hinduism accepts Atheism is also a path to spirituality.
There is no absolute scientific proof that there is no GOD . Atheists use science the same way theists use to propagate their views.
If yoga and meditation can control you and your body tissues ( there are many experiments that prove this. One experiment shows that socialized rats are immune to heart problems compared to caged rats) , then why not external world?
Some experiments prove that emotionally connected people respond even if they are far apart . Like in those old movies . If one of the twins get hit, it hurts the other.
The quantum world is more misterious than what you can ever imagine. The existing sciense can not explain this. May be our accstors mastered this art of controling with Mantra and meditation as they always looked inward. Who knows? Our Vedanta claimed that there is no external creator but the universe itslef is creator.

Actually if we listen to these so-called Mr-Know-Alls questioning the existence of our Gods, it's easy to understand that they are only focussed on proving that India has nothing in itself, and it learned everything from the WEST. These people are even trying to prove that Yoga originated in the West and not India.
Whatever Bible says can be true and the catholics claim to have proof. Now I am not questioning their faith, every person has a right to follow their own religion, but they should not forget that Rama/Krishna etc etc were there 1000s of years before Christ. It's not easy to gather evidence of what happened long long back. But there is no harm in showing respect to the people who have faith in those mythological/real characters.
