Best Answer

Not all Christians believe the story is literally true; it was often taken as allegorical. The story appears in the Christian bible, so as Christians are encouraged to take biblical stories seriously, some do believe they actually existed.

Another answer:

Because they believe that The Bible is the "Word of God". "All Scripture is God-breathedand is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16)
