This is, you must realize, is the definition of circular logic and reasoning. Why do you believe in the bible? Because it's the word of God. Why do you believe in the God? Because of bible. If you're tired of playing by our rules (and by us I presume you mean rational and critical thinking individuals) that is completely your right. However, in doing so, you have excluded yourself from any scientific understanding of our world and universe, because you can't debate faith, it is mutually exclusive with logical proof or material evidence.
