In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus

Essentially, the argument is that if God created the universe, he created every thing in it. If we include choices in the set of 'things', then God not only knows the choices we make, but he also created those choices as well as their outcomes. God not only knows that you're going to have eggs for brekkie, but he's also arranged things so that there is no possibility that you would have anything else.

I'm not convinced that this is a definitive argument, but it's not an unreasonable one.

I think truly chance occurrences are necessary in our universe not only for life to self-organize and evolve but for consciousness to emerge. What you said above may be something similar, as far as I can understand you.
