Perhaps a lot of it is a need some Christians have to convince themselves over and over again in the drama of selling Jesus to everybody else (and their version of Jesus to other Christians), a kind of repetitive personal passion play.
I think that's also one of the reasons why so many of them are drawn to the mechanistic/clockwork 'evidence' apologetics.
The gods did not reveal, from the beginning,
All things to us, but in the course of time
Through seeking we may learn and know things better.
These things are, we conjecture, like the truth.
But as for certain truth, no man has known it,
Nor shall he know it, neither of the gods
Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.
And even if by chance he were to utter
The final truth, he would himself not know it:
For all is but a woven web of guesses.
Xenophanes
