Why do you believe in a God?

First, personal testimony is worthless because there's no way to test it's veracity.

Second, there's no way in hell you would be open to personal testimony of Zeus, Odin, Thor or any god other than your gawd.

Of course you would (as long as it's your gawd). It's called confirmation bias.

Science is limited because it is only able to consider the natural order, therefore anything outside of the natural realm is irrelevant to a scientist.

There is nothing outside the "natural realm." The universe is inclusive of all that exists. If your gawd exists, it's part of the universe and therefore part of the "natural realm."
