  The theological answer is because the Holy Spirit showers you with saving grace that leads to your faith.
  
  In short .. the answer is God.

  Believing is a step of faith. Thereafter, submitting myself to God in love, I experience God's transformation daily. Besides the Bible, Jesus' life on earth, the evidence is His work in my life.
  
  I cannot think of any way to prove of His existence except to experience Him.

  I believe in God, thus God exists.
  
  By the way I am not a Christian.

  so i take it that in your opinion, the various cells just existed and nothing intelligent took place to form the world we see today.
  
  ... I am not even talking about Christian theology, just Intelligent Design.

  One Word : Faith

  All of you miss the point.
  
  It is not faith .. it is God! Technically it is because of God's saving grace.
  
  If it is faith, then you have something to boast because faith is from yourself. You can rightly boast, "I have faith, I believe in God, I am saved; you have no faith, you do not believe in God, you are not saved".
  
  I know you guys won't boast like that, but you can't deny that is the natural conclusion if faith is the reason.

  Furthermore .. faith is not the reason why you believe in God.
  
  It is kinda concurrent rather than the reason for your belief.
  
  I can rephrase the question to be, "Why do you have the [christian] faith?"
