Some double-standard you've got going for you. Where is this thirst for evidence when you read your Bible?
Some scientists think that dark matter explains the topography of the Universe. The investigation is ongoing. Right now, the reason to entertain the dark-matter hypothesis is that it makes the equations run better.
The difference between investigating dark matter, and investigating your particular delusion, is that the hypothesis positing dark matter will be tested one day, against reality, and if it doesn't measure up, it will be discarded. That is what rational people do when a hypothesis fails. It's what I did when I tested the god hypothesis, and found it vapid, and absent any value in explaining reality.
It's what you cannot do, no matter what, because you are terrified of going through life without your security blanket. You cannot test your god; that is an activity expressly forbidden to you. You must take the word of other humans and never question it, never test it against reality; and that means that you can never break your shackles -- you will always be a prisoner.
I feel sorry for you.
