Ah, well. The more you learn about science and the real world, the less believable you will find the stories in the bible are. Science has shown, beyond reasonable doubt, that most of it is just made up and couldn't have happened. To try and just believe it happened anyway is no different from believing Lord of the Rings happened, because you want it to be true.
Since theists can't agree on the most basic facts about God, that is good evidence that they are not having the relationship they think they are.
Additional: if someone makes a claim, and they have insufficient evidence, I'm quite happy saying I don't yet believe the claim. I have no requirement to also say the claim is false, just that I reserve judgement. If the claim is a fantastical one which goes against everything I know, then it is reasonable for me to estimate that it is probably not true, though. But I have no need to try and demonstrate that beyond pointing out the gulf between the unusual nature of the claim and the evidence.
