Christians, how can you believe in god if?

The random suffering in the world is evidence of the nonexistence of a loving, powerful, informed God. The fact that no God has contacted us in an unambiguous manner is contrary to the nature of God as depicted in most religions and therefore evidence that such a God doesn’t exist. The fact that, so far, all the explanations we’ve found for complicated phenomena have involved the interaction of less complicated phenomena implies that the ultimate explanation for the universe as a whole will likewise involve something less complicated, rather than something more complicated such as God. The fact that the knowledge of the world exhibited by writers of ancient religious texts never exceeds what such people could be expected to know through the science available to them implies they had no additional sources of knowledge with regard to God. The fact that many religious texts, including the Bible, are self contradictory, is evidence that they are not divinely inspired. The evidence that faith doesn’t work as a means of obtaining knowledge about the world is evidence that it doesn’t work as a means of obtaining knowledge about God. The fact that faith leads to multiple conflicting claims about God also supports that conclusion. The fact that prayer doesn’t work as a means of changing anything in the world is evidence that there is no God out there to pray to.
