Because you have to have faith.
You could point at the miracle of childbirth, the feeling of doing something good for others, etc. as the reason you believe in God. But if you don’t have faith, you won’t be able to out-argue other viewpoints.
You might even believe that God put dinosaur bones on Earth to test our faith. You might believe that simulation theory was created to bring back good behavior and show that a God or creator can exist, even both can exist simultaneously, one bubble of consciousness within another. It might be God’s second coming.
The Bible teaches us to have faith. Without it, I’m not sure it can even be interpreted and practiced properly. Who are you praying to if you don’t have faith? Remember that science and faith are not contradictory ideas. There’s still a lot of science that’s still in the theoretical stage like string theory, but scientists believe it exists because the equations work. They have faith even though it calls for them to accept some pretty outrageous ideas about the makeup of the universe. So does Christianity. But, all scientific odds and variables aside, what do you believe? In your heart?
Try going to church and praying. Pray to God to give you faith. Talk to your pastor or priest. Everyone’s faith wavers at some point. It’s almost part of growing up.
Remember that faith isn’t asking you to put science aside and accept something that no one else in the world believes in but you. Christianity is a well-known world religion, and many people died to ensure that the citizens of the world would get converted and end up in heaven. Even if your only reason for staying Christian is to have that maybe-ticket to heaven, remember that science and faith intertwine and maybe a spot in Heaven looks subconsciously enticing for multiple good and not-so-good reasons. Jesus knew that and told us about it anyway. Maybe he thought you should know before you make your decision. They say that everything is part of a plan. God’s plan. We might have free will, we might not, but go ahead and do what you think is right, even if it seems selfish on the surface because of your current crisis of faith.
