I assume it's because you have faith. No?
I'm not aware of a requirement for theists to ignore any evidence, none of the facts if reality are a problem for a theist who is willing to impose his own standards upon his so called 'holy book'.
the problem lies not with their acceptance of evidence, but their completely disregarding any form of rational methodology when approaching their own beliefs.
It seems their epistemology is two-faced, standards of evidence that alone would never allow them to conclude on any other issue are more than sufficient in enforcing their belief in the friendly wizard.
