In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus

The moment he proudly proclaimed that he had discarded evidence and thought that evidence wasn't scientific was when I lost hope for him.

"Formation
Our solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The cloud collapsed, possibly due to the shockwave of a nearby exploding star, called a supernova. When this dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula – a spinning, swirling disk of material.

At the center, gravity pulled more and more material in. Eventually, the pressure in the core was so great that hydrogen atoms began to combine and form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy. With that, our Sun was born, and it eventually amassed more than 99% of the available matter.

Matter farther out in the disk was also clumping together. These clumps smashed into one another, forming larger and larger objects. Some of them grew big enough for their gravity to shape them into spheres, becoming planets, dwarf planets, and large moons. In other cases, planets did not form: the asteroid belt is made of bits and pieces of the early solar system that could never quite come together into a planet. Other smaller leftover pieces became asteroids, comets, meteoroids, and small, irregular moons."

NASA seem to have got the chronology all wrong here, according to the Genesis creation myth, but what do they know. 

"The order and arrangement of the planets and other bodies in our solar system is due to the way the solar system formed. Nearest to the Sun, only rocky material could withstand the heat when the solar system was young. For this reason, the first four planets – Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars – are terrestrial planets. They are all small with solid, rocky surfaces."

"Meanwhile, materials we are used to seeing as ice, liquid, or gas settled in the outer regions of the young solar system. Gravity pulled these materials together, and that is where we find gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune."

They really need to read their bible...

Another interesting question that will now remain unanswered of course, is why John accepts the scientific methodology that ages the universe, but rejects that same methodology for the age of the earth? 

Though of course this can be viewed in the broader sense, of him subjectively cherry picking facts to accept (only) when they conflict with his subjective religious doctrine. When he claimed to have falsified evolution on another forum, and everyone one pointed out this was based on bias in favour of subjective religious beliefs, and not on any new scientific evidence, one question I asked, that he refused to answer, was what scientific theories or facts he denied, that in no way conflicted with his subjective religious beliefs?

Obviously it's plain the answer would not remain unanswered, if his cherry picking were not entirely based on a subjective bias in favour of his religion's doctrine. he tap dance around it for ages of course, as he did here with photons.

He not only refused to answer, but kept insisting "we would all see" when he published his evidence. Obviously he never, and dismissed the claims here initially with levity, and then with a denial, despite the username's being identical, and that poster being an undergrad studying psychology, and him endlessly claiming this made him more of an expert than anyone else on the forum.

^Funny how, with all his claimed expertise in psychology, he was unable to diagnose his own smartest-guy-in-the-room syndrome.

That Iowa Republican who brushed off Medicaid cuts by replying "Everyone' going to die"? Well, in her non-apology yesterday, "the Iowa lawmaker then encouraged viewers who want to see “eternal and everlasting life” to “embrace” Jesus Christ."
