Things like god created plants before the sun. Thats not logical, they would have died. And obviously noah didnt make a big ark and the world wasnt flooded. And obviously a virgin couldnt be pregnant 2000 years ago.

Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, 'Let there be light' and God saw that the light was good, and he seperated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. And there was evening and there was morning, the FIRST day.
vrs 11 Then God said, 'Let the land produce vegetation: seed bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.' And it was so, the land produced vegetation, plants bearing seed according to their kind and trees bearing fruit within according to their kind... And God saw that it was good, and there was evening, and there was morning, the THIRD day.
So, the sun would have been created on the first day, and things didn't grow till the third day. First, I'd like to know how it's obvious that Noah didn't build and ark and the world wasn't flooded. If you do some research into it, you will find that there is scientific evidence that shows that a world wide flood is very probable and explains a lot of things. Start with the grand canyon. Just a suggestion.
As for Mary having an immaculate birth, sure, we have no evidence to support this, but that is why we believe on faith. We (Alot of Christians, as I don't want to speak for all of them) believe the infallible word of God, and if God put Jesus into Mary's untainted womb to give birth to the Messiah, I believe it. Considering all the other truths in the Word of God, I have no reason to doubt it.

Great question! A lot of things that we as Christian believe are on faith but a lot also can be backed up. Some of the things you mentioned can be. This maybe help you understand. In the beginning of the Bible (Genesis) God says let there be light. So light was there to support the vegetation that was there before the "sun". This is just one answer to the many that you may have. A lot of time its hard for us as humans even myself to understand the awesome things of God because we are so used to the things that as human beings we cant do and we forget that God is far more greater than us and can do far more than we can. I pray that I have been a help to you. Please keep asking question. I'm sure that God will answer. Be blessed! :)

Some people NEED faith to live fully, maybe due to ignorance, fear, obscurity, the way they where raised and educated, to feel secure or any other factor.
Probably mankind will never find a logical scientific answer to all aspects of life. And our innate curiosity will be baffled (is baffled) on how some things are possible.
When no other explanation is convincing one tends to believe on something higher, call it god, nature, aliens (or whatever one would like to believe)
Some people don't like to question what they where thought because they don't have any other answer.

God spoke the word and form the earth.His breath is mans breath.
God doesn't need to prove Himself,He knows how great He is.
God is the creator,He can do what ever He wants.<><

actually people have found bits of what they think could be Noah's ark, and plus how do you know he didn't? How do you know there wasn't a flood? You weren't even born yet. It's all about faith, God can do anything in the world!

Shhh...It's a secret.
Plants can live for one day without the Sun, by the way. But those are the silly literal seven day creationists. (or six-day I suppose)

They like to ignore facts that point away from their beliefs. For example, they believe that the earth is 6,000 years old when all the evidence points to the fact that it is around 4.5 billion years old.

You can blindfold a dog, and he will do anything he can to remove the blindfold, so he can see.
Satan has you blindfolded and you're not doing anything to remove it.

That is indeed the $64 question. Presumably, beause it makes them feel good to do so.
