You make the leap before you can walk. You need to dump evidence and science to consider this subject you're interested in.

Yes there can be no rational reasoning for faith.

By that i also mean why do you not believe in zeus, apollo, vishnu etc...
Because I reasoned that the leap of faith would be worthwhile based on observations in the bible that applied to my own life. I considered many other sensible alternatives, and value the journey together with those other faiths. For the bible to be true other faiths become illogical. It's a rational choice.
