Because if you say things like I know I am right, you are not looking for any more info, and the possibilities that you might be wrong. It is possible you know, that you are wrong, and there is a God. Don't be totally certain of everything, you may find new facts that proves your wrong, and then what will you do!
Science! facts! is that what you want! well. It was believed we had a planet called Pluto, and now it is not!
It was once believed the Earth is flat, and now we know it is not.
Once people believed the Earth is the center of the Universe, and you know that is false.
What if there is a God, and you live all your life refusing to believe or have open mind that there is possibly a God. then what will you do!

Do you believe that YOU exist?
Take a look at your own body. That in itself is immense evidence that there's a God. You believe that the computer you are looking at was intelligently designed, but you believe that the human body, which is thousands (if not millions) of times more complex than this computer, was formed by pure accident? That isn't even logical, and I thought you people worshipped at the altar of logic. Or perhaps you believe it got here by trial-and-error? If so, where are all the "errors"? The fossil record shows fully'formed modern animals, plus some extinct ones. Nothing more. The fact that almost all fossils are found in sedimentary rock prove that they all died in a worldwide Flood and were buried in the sediment - another evidence that the Bible is correct. The Bible also says, "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God'." Notice that it says "in his heart", not "in his mind". The mind sees the evidence and tells us God exists. Atheism is a problem of the heart, not the mind.

The alternative to God existing is that all that exists around us came about by natural cause and random chance. It someone is rolling dice, the odds of rolling a pair of sixes is one thing. But the odds of spots appearing on blank dice is something else. What Pasteur attempted to prove centuries ago, science confirms, that life cannot arise from non-life. Where did human, animal, plant life come from?
Also, natural causes are an inadequate explanation for the amount of precise information contained in human DNA. A person who discounts God is left with the conclusion that all of this came about without cause, without design, and is merely good fortune. It is intellectually wanting to observe intricate design and attribute it to luck. ( everystudent.com)

It takes more faith to believe in evolution than it does to believe in a Supreme All-Powerful God.
The scientific community can't agree on a age for the earth for more than a few years. They need to add time for change every time something is found that doesn't fit. If you choose to believe in evolution, you must trust in the fallibility of mans interpretation. This changes all the time.
God is unchanging and infallible. Why would you want to have to keep up on the current interpretation of science, when you could feasibly read and learn all the rules of God and be done?

You must not follow science very closely.
Superstring theory has shown that what we call matter doesn't really exist. Everything you see and touch is actually made up of packets of energy, emerging from a background sea of energy, held together by fields of energy.
Quantum mechanics has shown that reality as we know it does not exists independantly. Only probabilities exist until a conscious observer is present at which point reality is chosen and observed.
Therefore, consciousness and energy not only pre-exist all-that-is, but work together to create all-that-is.
Now take a look around you. This Earth is so big it looks flat when you're standing on the surface even though it's a globe. Jupiter is a hundred times bigger than Earth, and the Sun is so big that it constitutes 90% of the mass in our solar system all by itself.
Our sun is an average sized star among hundreds of billions in the Milky way galaxy alone. There are hundreds of billions of observable galaxies, which means we can visibly see more stars than there are grains of sand on every beach in the entire world.
All this is spread out in a space so vast we must measure it in light years. A light year is almost 4 trillion miles, and we can see across 14 billion light years of space.
Cutting edge scienctific theory posits that our visible universe is likely only one bubble of an infinite number of other universes floating in the vast sea of creation.
Remembering that all of this is formed by a consciousness acting upon an energy field, how could you possibly define a conscious energy so unimaginably magnificent to form this creation in any other terms than God?
The problem is that people have the wrong ideas about God. They think God is supposed to micro-manage the minute details of everyone's lives, so when bad things happen they blame it on God - or worse - decide that God doesn't exist.
In reality, we are God's children. Every loving parent does their best to help their children lead happy and productive lives. But every child has a mind of their own and makes their own choices in life.
God didn't make us robots. No. He gave us the gift of free-will and thereby made us co-creators with him. He allowed us to enter into this magnificent journey of physical life so that we can make our own choices, experience the results of those choices, and eventually return those experiences to him.
He also put into place certain immutable laws, such as the laws of cause and effect. As you sow, so shall ye reap. If we make choices that radiate the Love of the Creator we work our way back to God. If we make choices that seek to control or dominate others we remove ourselves further away from God. This is the process of soul evolution, which every living creature is undertaking.
However, God is perfect Love. He waits with eternal patience for us to learn the lessons of Love and find our way back to him where he welcomes us as long-lost children.
There is no hell, there is only separation from God and the journey back to God. God is waiting for you...

Nicely phrased. Let me think a minute.
Okay, let's take a deontological and consequentialist approach.
In the deontology, belief in a God can add a center and purpose to your life, as well as provide comfort and personal development through filling the hunger for spirituality that is innate to all humans. Moreover, belief in Christ provides you access to the True, Loving, and overall fascinating Lord.
In the consequentialism, consider two possibilities, that there is no deity at all, and human consciousness dissipates into nothingness at death. In the other possibility, there is a God who requires faith in Him at the very least for entrance to Heaven, else the punishment is eternal Hell. In the first instance, the fate of one who believes and one who does not believe does not differ - both end in nothingness. In the second, the fate of one who believes and one who does not believe differs substantially. Therefore, the best reward to one who does not believe is nothingness, while the worst is eternal torment. On the other hand, the best reward to one who believes is Heaven, while the worst is nothingness. The optimal choice, therefore, is to believe.
Up to you. E-me if you want to chat more.

Your question shows that you have questions about the conclusion you came to, which means you don't know that you're right.
The answer to why you should believe in God is because he exists.

If you are determined in your belief than nothing will make you waiver, not all the evidence in the world. Besides that God doesn't want people to be forced to go to Him. That's a false conversion. You have to decide why you don't believe in Him. If you don't want to give Him a chance without ample proof than it is pointless for you to worry about it because it is something that no one will ever satisfy for you. You will never be truly His if you don't come on your own accord and humble yourself before Him. So, I will not try to convince you of anything. If you want to know about God ask Him to show himself to you. Don't ask other believers to prove Him to you. He is all the proof you need.

I quote:
"Belief in God isnt about "facts" It takes faith - the belief in things unseen."
This is the exact description of a symptom of schizoid mental disorder. This disorder can now be treated by Zyprexa(use only as directed, see a doctor). Obviously you dont suffer from this disorder. Good for you !

God clearly tells us Who He is and what is the purpose of His creation (human beings included). If we refuse to learn the truth from the Holy Books of His Divine Messengers, we definetely get lost.
The children who refuse to go to school don' know that they get lost, until some day they realize how they don't see simple things that the learners see.
