the way you posed the question implies so many things that a person who believes in God would probably never agree with.
you said...
"I was just wondering why people believe in still believe in gods."
what has happened recently that would have ruled that out for them? the majority of theists in the world (Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Jewish etc.) believe in a God (or gods) that exists without any reliance on scientific data for confirmation of his existence. so, from that perspective, we aren't any closer to *knowing* if God exists. your question really becomes mute for the majority theists. i realize that this question wasn't necessarily posed to theists only, but it does frame the argument in a way that i think is ill-fitting.
