Q: Why do people doubt the Bible despite the evidence?

The Bible, the word of God, is historically, scientifically, and mathematically correct, confirmed by archaeology. Why do people still doubt it and think its false?

People still doubt the Bible as the Word of God because this is also a spiritual matter and not just a matter of proving the Bible to be correct historically, scientifically, mathematically and through archaeology. 

2 Corinthians 4:4 says, “The god of this age (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”

There’s a spiritual opposition involved in preventing people from accepting the Bible as the truth. This is why you can present as many proven facts to them all you want but they still refuse to believe - it's because they are blinded spiritually. We need to pray for people that God would shine His light into their hearts so that they would come to know Him. 

“For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:6).

When dealing with questions that people have, try to answer it the best that you can. The Bible has and will continue to stand any test. But also remember to pray for them!
