that's because you have a completely different conception of authority and revelation than the average Protestant Christian.
For them the Bible is literally the tentpole that holds everything up. If the Bible is not perfect, if the Bible is not completely reliable, then the whole thing comes crashing down.
When we say "because God has revealed it" that is not shorthand for "because it is in the Bible." We are much more expansive than that. They are not.
