I can't really answer for them, I can only guess. My guess is they want to make an intellectual argument for the existance of god, one which uses a scientific basis, because they feel it necessary in order to "defend their faith".
Clearly there is no "proof" since the usual definition of god is one that exists outside of known physical laws. Using ridiculous juvenile arguments like what I went over though only makes ones position look weaker intellectually, not stronger.

Why are they so adamant about trying to prove the unproveable?

Same as above.

You can't disprove something that you can't prove in the first place, so why bother? Everyone has their own ideas either for the existence of God, or against. My definition of God might be fairly broad, while other's may be more streamlined. Who in their right mind thinks they know what/who God is? Why does God need a definition?

Some people certainly need a very specific god. The more specific your god is the more specific his/her/its wishes can be. At least that would be my take on it. Many people, like you Comic, don't need a dogmatic god. Your faith makes you want to be a better person. Alternatively some people want a god that makes
other people a "better" person.
