Certainly there are many things in physics and mathematics that become extremely problematic, if not impossible in a strict physicalist lense. This however does not justify the Christian God, nor any other specific deity. That remains a matter of faith.

Yes, of course, Christianity is one of many human cultures that discuss the mystery of existence.
As I see it, Christianity provides a language for Westerners to deal with metaphysical problems in a structured way,
and it's kind of silly to abandon it.

Faith: "complete trust or confidence in someone or something"

Sort of like how I have faith the sun will rise tomorrow, or that I will have air to breathe later today.
