Compared to the millions if not billions dying all over the world from illnesses and afflictions they had nothing to do with. Where were the other sins of god, all around the world, spreading love and praising Yahweh? For some reason he only begot one son, at one point, who did some nice things for a few decades. A veritable band aid on the gaping wound of the world.
That's why we believe gravity exists. Because it is apparent and undeniable to everyone with the slightest bit of testing.
The miracles were the singularity that set Jesus apart from every other human on the planet, as a testament to his diety; it was not the reason he came. The reason he came was to take our sins to the cross; a spotless/blameless lamb to be sacrificed.... again for our sins that we may believe and be saved into an eternal relationship with God.
Here we are 2000+ years later and the Gospel is reaching the remotest parts of the world, not just a few nearby cities in the middle-east.
I believe in God and Jesus because the evidence is also undeniable.
Consider how C.S. Lewis puts it....I'm paraphrasing here
Jesus was either who He says He was (God in the FLesh) or an absolute nut-job on par with a psycho who claims to be a poached egg. We have two choices here, and that is to dismiss him as complete nut-case or to bow down at his feet as the Lord and Saviour.
