What happens if existence of God is proven by science in the future?

You can't prove the proposition because you can't define God well enough for any kind of rigor. If you could define God, then He wouldn't be God.

You can play semantic games with the meaning of “exist”, but that won't tell you anything interesting.

You can try yourself, don't take my word for it. First come up with a definition of God. Then imagine a world in which that version of God exists. Now think about the real world.

One person sees a burning bush, the other person sees God. Even if the bush started literally talking and issuing commandments, it still wouldn't be God, it would be a talking bush. People have to call it God first before the bush can be God. The bush could call itself God, but calling yourself God doesn't make you God, that just makes you weird.

God is above the concepts of definition and semantics, logic and proof can't even enter.
