It's to declare yourself not only infallible, but able of analysing and categorising things totally outside the scope of current human knowledge.
Sorry, you can convince yourself but not me. I'm all too familiar with how unreliable the human brain is, and of our tendency to spot patterns and assign agency when there is none.
Imagine a kid who tells you they really did meet Santa. The actual magical Santa. This is absolutely no different. Would you believe them, just on their say so?
Not too many people have claimed to see Santa or UFOs, but millions upon millions have believed in God and christianity. In fact, many if not most, of the greatest minds of western civilization in the last 2,000 years have been christians or theists of one kind or another.
