I'll put it this way, I hope that there is a god. I hope that there is a new beginning after this life is over. Humans have the most developed brain for a reason. We are programmed to think , question, and study the world around us. Why should the story of God or Jesus be any different?
It's not any different, you have to do your research and find out what leads you to the truth with an open heart. You will not believe what I am about to say but the following is true;......
I believe in God cause I have put 20-40 hours of study into history every week sense I was 12 years old and this has lead me to believe, I have studied every single nation, every single origin of language, every single manuscript or ancient document and every single recorded war. Culture, Traditions, Religions, ethnicity all pertaining to human history I have studied. I also have read the Biblical Narrative over and over again, then studied more history and always went back to the Biblical narrative and the more I study history the more I come back to the basic conclusion that the Biblical narrative is 100% accurate. The Genesis accounts in terms of developing nations is extremely accurate, the founders of the ancient world are all Biblical characters such as the historical Sargon the great who is the Biblical Nimrod, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal from Assyria are all Biblical characters and there is massive amounts of information found on them, all being on par with the Biblical accounts. The Achaemenid dynasty is in the Biblical narrative and the list is endless.
Now get this, There is over 6000 erected structures in the Ancient world, maybe even 10 000, anyway, we know who erected most of them, actually 99% of them. We have 2000 + recorded battles, we have over 1000 well known kings, leaders or rulers, we have over 1000 military commanders, we have art work, we have 700+ known Nations of people or tribes. We have at least 70 distinct languages and we have tons of found ancient ruins that we have discovered with precisely the known ethnic groups we find associated with that region in ancient times.
What is my point?,.... SIMPLE,... all of the above is found between the year zero and 3000 BC, so what is found from the 3000BC to 6000BC, No erected structures, NONE, No recorded Battles, NONE, No recorded military battles, NONE, no recorded military commanders, NONE, No recorded civilizations, NONE.
There is simply nothing at all prior to this and the information doesn't descent in quantity, it simply gets cut right off at the 3000BC mark exactly on par with what you would expect with the Biblical narrative.
and this sir is one of the reasons I believe in the Bible.
