Did you mean why believe in anything that we can't prove exists? Personal experience is one reason for this and something I can attest to but I realize it is subjective and not demonstrable to someone else. But from what I've read even diehard skeptics have changed their religous views based on personal expereince.
That is not why I'm asking this however. I simply want to show that even if we could all agree on a universal definition of God, there is no way an infinite being could manifest finitely in a finite world and prove its infinite nature. Since the proof would have to be of finite nature, science would require it to be testable and repeatable. Even if this supernatural feat was testable would science eventually accept as supernatural or simply refuse to accept it until it could be proved naturally? Which would be never. I doubt today's skeptic's would accept any claim from any being if science didn't accept it too.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
