Hi Vince,
I became a Christian because I came to believe the Bible was God's Word, His revelation to man. And I came to that belief based on evidence.
You utilize faith all the time. You trust in this, trust in that, trust in the chair to hold you, the stair to take your step, the food to not kill you, you trust and trust and trust.
You trust the food because every time you eat it, you are nourished. Oh, but not so much. Sometimes, it's junk food, and sometimes, it's gone over a bit, and sometimes it may make the belly a little sour.
But you've learned to distinguish between when you are being nourished and when it's just junk food, and when it makes you ill, you've learned that in this case the food may have been not right, but that doesn't mean all food is bad, of course not!
But why not take the same approach to faith, so much more needed then food.
Much love!
