They won't believe the clear words of the United States Supreme Court.

They won't believe people like President Ronald Reagan's Attorney General, who said:

"Under the longstanding English common-law principle of jus soli, persons born within the territory of the sovereign (other than children of enemy aliens or foreign diplomats) are citizens from birth. Thus, those persons born within the United States are “natural born citizens” and eligible to be President."

They won't believe the Heritage Foundation.

They won't believe Constitutional experts like Mark Levin (who publicly noted that Marco Rubio was eligible).

They won't believe National Review.

They won't believe other folks like Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (a reasonably conservative Justice who was a Reagan appointee to the Court).

They won't believe Father of the Constitution James Madison, who said place of birth was what counted when it came to citizenship.

They won't believe William Rawle, who sat and discussed politics and law with George Washington and Benjamin Franklin on a regular basis.

They won't believe St. George Tucker, or Joseph Story, or Chancellor James Kent, or any of the great legal expert from early in our nation's history.

Why would they believe God?

“Why would they believe God?”

Not sure where you are going with that.

The only opinion with merit regarding the eligibility of the POTUS is the opinion of the SCOTUS. My question to you is; why do you care what [we birthers] think?
