Rationalist can never bring themselves to accept “faith” without proof. And man cannot prove directly Christianity.
Reason is a wonderful gift, but you cannot become a Christian in a manner other than faith. That requires accepting many things that “can be seen” in people and the world that cannot be proven with science.
I have known many scientist, engineers and technicians. The more intelligent understood that science failed at explaining the “big picture”.
A good physicist friend explained to me back in the early 1980’s the accepted equations left a big piece of matter unaccounted for. He told me then that he expected a revolution in the reasoning of that science in the future.

It isn’t difficult to get to “more probable than not.” But if someone doesn’t want to believe, then no amount of evidence will suffice.
Disbelief is usually connected to a particular vice.
