That's something you have to workout yourself.

Some common answers:

God
Evolution
Aliens
gods

Nothing I say will satisfy you, the likelihood is is that nothing will satisfy you. Two options, give up asking or trust yourself more with your own logic.

Truth comes in many forms, ancient spiritual texts, science books, experiences and even fiction.

Both of those are really bad options. Never give up, never give in and never trust your own logic. Confirm everything with those goobers on the Internet.

When I look around and see that nature is so complex I Know that God did it. What's to know?

Interesting.

It is the happiest option, unless you get doubts which tend to occur later in life.

I think the mainly occur early in life if they occur. Right after you grow up and leave your local environment.

Very few people grow up in a rational household and late in life begin to wonder..."Maybe ghosts are real?".

Yes, maybe. It depends who the kid is.

That's irrelevant. The inquiry is that, in the context of the Jesus myth, was the deity Jesus interacted with the god of the Old Testament, or was this some other deity entirely? How that question is answered has wildly different implications about the nature of deity, the continuity of cultural meaning from Judaism to Christianity, humanity's role in the universe, within the internal confines of Christianity. Which is no small potatoes, since Christianity is pretty big and influential.

Consider it phrased using another context, one that I believe in but you probably think of as being equally as mythological as the Jesus myth: was the cyclops that Odysseus wounded the same kind as one of the cyclopes that supported Zeus in his revolution against Kronos, or a different kind of cyclops entirely? Either answer has different implications about various similar questions.
 
There is a strong case, strongly supported by undeniable evidence, that Jesus was invented by the Romans to still control their empire without the need of an expensive military. Seems to have worked better than the inventors could ever hope in their wildest dreams.

Which Romans invented Jesus? How did they figure this story of martyrdom of an obscure Jew would work in their favour? Why did they wait to deploy this propaganda after having spent so much on a military conquest of the region?
I would like to see that undeniable evidence.
