I'm not saying that you have to answer. but don't you even question it?
you must question things happening in life all the time. and that one has to be more extraordinary than the things you do question as to why today.

All this demonstrates to me is you have a complete ignorance and misunderstanding of Christianity (and maybe other religions too but I don't know enough about them to comment).
The basis of Christianity is
faith. If evidence is sought and subsequently found then there is no longer any need for faith as it then becomes evidence.
In the war of science vs religion, when it comes to absolute proof science wins on many levels. But that's because the 2 viewpoints require different criteria.
Say if I was to produce some sort of artifact which, in scientific terms proved that God was watching over us. Where's the need for faith?
Some chose Christianity because of the rewards that faith offers them. I respect that notion but it's not just what motivates me. I chose it because it makes more sense to me.
I will say to anyone that God is very real and all around us because I experience what He has done and he has spoken to me (don't bother - it was very very personal and no it wasn't a voice in my head) but can I produce a mathematic formula to prove it? No but then again neither can I prove the fact that I'm going to enjoy Wrestlemania tonight but I know I will anyway.

I didn't say I don't believe 100% that He exists, I said
it's not a fact as it cannot be proven. See above about 'faith'.
