My reasons for being a Christian are not scientific in the empirical sense of the word, but it is still mostly based on evidence. For example, I saw a lecture given by a man named Rick Larson who (using digital software) looked at cosmological features occurring during the time of Jesus's birth/ crucifixion and noticed incredibly rare astronomical events that coincided with things described in the Bible. I know it sounds very sketchy, and I was skeptical at first too, but it was one of the most interesting videos I have seen in a while. I can post the link if you want. Atheist or not, it is worth an hour of your time.
And I am skeptical of some of the supernatural claims in the Bible. If you are asking me if I think God has ever intervened, then I would say yes.
I think you missed the question. There is nothing scientific at all about that. "I feel" is not an acceptable opener to "are scientific".
Not. Science.
Don't lecture me about what is and what isn't science. I wrote it like that because I didn't want to cycle back in to whether or not the reasons I gave were scientific. If you are going to restrict us to the empirical definition of science, then nothing about the past is scientific, end of story.
