Because people clamor for entire lifetimes trying to find out where they came from and why they are here. Whenever they find an answer that finally makes sense for them, they hold on with a death grip because it literally means the world to them. Its scary for most people to think that our lives are a mystery and that there ultimately may not be a point to existance at all.
So, people believe things like that so strongly because it gives them a reason and the strength to live when they otherwise would have nothing.

If your looking at the fact PEOPLE think their right then I would have to say it's faith. I bible is there to educate us and we have to have faith that what we are reading is true and will happen. But I think most of the time people think they are absolutely right because their pride doesn't allow them to think they may be wrong.
I was like that and now I love to listen, and doing so I feel like I have learned so much more about God then what i thought I knew.

Faith built by Bible study, answered prayer, and continually striving to prove all things.
1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Prove from history, science, nature, whatever. The proof of God is there.
Roamns 1:16 ¶ For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the Greek. 17 For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith. 18 For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing; 19 ¶ Because the knowledge of God may be seen in them, God having made it clear to them. 20 For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing:
21 Because, having the knowledge of God, they did not give glory to God as God, and did not give praise, but their minds were full of foolish things, and their hearts, being without sense, were made dark. 22 Seeming to be wise, they were in fact foolish, 23 And by them the glory of the eternal God was changed and made into the image of man who is not eternal, and of birds and beasts and things which go on the earth. 24 For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another: 25 Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

I Don't believe. I have no belief in god. I believe in many things. God just isn't one of them.

they are strong in what they believe in.
it's only what you believe.
"I" believe that catholisism, is a very boring religion.
in my church we believe in having a personal relationship with the Lord.
not reading what you're gonna say to him from the bible word for word.

I think I am absolutely right because he saved my life and he spoke to me once.
So I guess it's my personal experiences.

We can trust in the truthfulness of Jesus Christ and the Scriptures.
Please get a Bible education. And please give your life to Jesus Christ...If you don't do that you will NEVER know the truth for sure.
