I can't "prove " anything to you
Because you refuse to even try, coward.
anymore than you can "prove" anything to me.
Because you refuse to even consider your opponent's arguments.
Scripture is accepted by faith.
Indeed. But that doesn't mean we do so blindly...
Hebrews 11:
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
This verse has nothing to do with this topic.
These verses are what you are probably looking for... oh wait, they support my position and not yours... HA!
“Come now, and let us reason together,”Says the Lord,“Though your sins are like scarlet,They shall be as white as snow;Though they are red like crimson,They shall be as wool.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
By Faith We Understand - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

God is rational, so should you be.
Faith is evidence, and my faith is based on evidence. Yours seems to be based on nothing more than wishy-washy feelings, whatever feels right...
The existence of God cannot be proven.
False. For:
The heavens declare the glory of God;And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech,And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor languageWhere their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth,And their words to the end of the world.In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

All of these things are evidence for the creator.
His existence is accepted by faith.
Blind faith is not faith at all.
Real faith is evidence based.
Intellectual arguments do no good,
Through what intellectual argument did you arrive at that conclusion?
Seriously, do you not even stop for five seconds to consider whether what you're saying is self-refuting?
They will never "prove" He exists or convert anyone.
Not with that attitude.
Only the HS can move the human heart.
The Holy Spirit uses means.
Rational arguments are an example of such means.
The same with arguments over theology. As they are accepted by faith logical are useless."proofs".
There is nothing "useless" about proofs.
Some of the smartest people in this world are atheists.
God won't be judging people on Judgement day based on how smart they were, but on whether they placed their trust in Him or not.
So if intellectual arguments don't convert them
All I can hope to do is let the Lord work through me using logic and reason, so that maybe a seed is planted in his heart.
how do expect to "prove" your beliefs to me?
I don't.
All I expect is that through rational discourse, a seed gets planted, that you might recognize that your beliefs are not correct, and be humble enough to admit such, and seek the truth.
You should have realized vy now I reject your beliefs as you reject mine.
How many times are you going to keep repeating this, and how many times am I going to have to repeat my response that we don't care that you disagree, what we care about is that you DEFEND your beliefs.
I was just supporting Tambora
Mindlessly affirming what someone says without being able to defend it yourself isn't very supportive.
It's just lip service.
No, she wasn't.
She was being called out for being an irrational hypocrite who can't defend her beliefs.
Just like you are.
and I don't care much for bullies.
No one cares.
