because the creation story isn't logical?

Because just as atheism and any other religion (that's right, "other" religion) requires faith, it is at the core of Christianity as well. There are some things that can be answered logically and some that can't, as is the case with anything you believe. For instance, note the classic question of the beginning of macroevolution: Where did the combustible gas, or whatever they are explaining it as now, that created out of nothing come from? It is usually at this point that evolutionists bash creationists for being ignorant, but tend to beat around the bush and avoid the question. The reason is because it also takes faith to believe in macroevolution, but they realize that by admitting that they can no longer ridicule religious folk as illogical.

To some Jesus is a joke and to others Jesus is real. You may want to know the source of the answers you are getting. Faith is real and it makes things come into reality. Planning to build a house and the faith to know it can be done makes it a reality, but without faith we never even start, even with a little faith we can start the building and as we see it come together our faith grows. But, if we lose faith the work stops. Jesus had enough faith to build the universe. What about you.

I think sometimes it is logical to be illogical, especially when one wants to also communicate to the senses. Take for example a poem where the words are illogical yet the visual message the words create is clear. We may dissect and analyze the poem to find the logic in how it is able to communicate the way it does, but the words still are illogical and some will throw up their hands in frustration. Meanwhile the message still is able to ring true to those who are able to comprehend it. We have senses that speed by our logical abilities. To ignore our senses would literally be ignorant.

You need faith both ways. No one of any scientists were in the beginning. I believe in the Genesis record because Jesus confirmed the OT. That is very logical to me. Science is not the only way of knowing.

It could be ignorance, who truly knows what awaits us however, I am a christian and chose to hold strong in my faith under all circumstances I choose to look at the bible for my answers instead of using science because in all truth wasnt science given to us by God, the knowledge to make all the things we have today was a gift from the lord including the resources. Regardless of what other people believe I will always choose to follow God.
I will keep you in my prayers

God cannot be proved with logic but with faith

Too much interference by those who hate God or even the thought that he exists. They do not recognize him as Sovereign Ruler over all and everything.
Don't worry, after Armageddon those that love God won't have to worry about this sort of wickedness in the earth anymore....and the meek ones shall possess the earth and reside upon it in the abundance of peace...we will look to the place of the wicked one, but he/she will not be... (Psalms 37: 8)

I am not sure what you mean, but if you believe in Jesus and God, then you can believe that God caused the evolution of mankind! Study all religions that you can and you will understand more.

Because of conspiracy and religion trying to convert more people to cover the truth and logic and shying away from the truth that would make their reference seem untrue

There are many ways a person gains knowledge:
1. By the senses--watch a baby touch everything, put it in its mouth.
2. By trial and error
3. By rationalization
4. By direct apprehension--because of experience, the answer to a problem is immediately recognized
5. By infusion--God inspires us so that we recognize His truth.
Prayer opens our minds and hearts to His truth.
