"How do you know the bible is true?" That is always answered by simply saying that one believes it is true.

Not by this boy. I know the Bible is true because of many proofs, the Resurrection being the most important. The Resurrection is a real historical event, and the rest of the Bible hangs on it.

You faith is admirable but it is faith, not knowledge. If it was knowledge based upon pictures or video or actual verifiable artifacts it wouldn't be faith. It would be knowledge and would have far less value. Humility, which most religions teach, is the basis for accepting something greater than what you can know without proof. It is necessary for faith.
