Aha! And why aren't you doing the same sort of research on why people believe in Jesus, before you take it as evidence that he's real?

Because I've heard so many stories already demonstrating his power.

Yep, and there's still a flat earth society too. The fact that we can avail ourselves of knowledge doesn't mean that everyone will, or that they'll accept it even if they do. People aren't perfectly rational.
Besides, there's still no smoking gun, definitive proof that there is no god, and there might never be, since proving a negative is really hard. So the fact that we have science doesn't mean god has been disproved; however, the time to believe in something is when there's evidence, not before. There's no positive evidence for god, so why offer it belief any more than we would another idea with no evidence behind it, like that airplanes are actually demons in disguise?
There's clearly something more at work. About 90% of the world firmly believe there's some kind of God, wheras the "Flat Earth Society" accounts for an uncalculatably small amount of the world's population.

Not really. I do think they haven't given sufficient evidence to believe that they're right yet, though.
Well so many people base their entire lives around it, that must be wrong right?
I really wish I could get my parents or someone from our church on here.
