But don't you believe that your experience will be much better AFTER you die? Why is it a good thing that you haven't perished yet, consider what you believe awaits you after you go?

How do I know He really exists? Well, in all honesty, it is a matter of faith. It takes faith to believe God exists. However, this is not blind or random faith, but in the end that's what it boils down to.

It's a perspective of the world you accept or reject. I look at marvelous things in this creation and I ponder them. I know what science has to say. I know what men have to say. I've learned them and studied them, but are those answers sufficient? For many they are and they deny God and go along with a materialistic/naturalistic approach to this creation based upon their faith that those answers are correct. I 'knew' there had to be more. Keep asking "why" or "how come" enough to the answers provided and eventually it all boils down to faith again. I know I'll hear "illogical" "unreasonable" "naieve" etc., etc. All I can tell you is that is so far from my reality. It is just the answers weren't sufficient for me. God is sufficient.

I see evidence that supports the biblical version of events and other evidences that taken as a whole support that God is real and does exist. This is my explanation. Again, others will disagree and that's their right.

The amazing thing about my faith is that once I placed my faith in Jesus/God, that's when my eyes were opened and that which was not understood began to make sense. His sheep hear His voice and know it is Him... which actually ties into your second question.

Because there are unexpected answers. Because the answer is in line with the Word of God (Bible). Because many times, no matter how much you try on your own, every concievable option, every plan, every idea of your own and yet you're still unsuccessful... but when you turn it over to Him it is accomplished.

There are many things I look back on in my life and wonder how'd I ever gotten through a situation or how a circumstance resolved or how my life has unfolded to this point in a way I could not even have envisioned for myself, yet there it is and here I am. Many will shout coincidence or explainable happenstance. Let them think so. I know differently.
