I have proof. Otherwise I never would have left atheism. But you cannot prove something to someone if it happened 2000 years ago. They have to find it for themselves.

No, you don't have scientific proof. You have faith. There is a difference, is there not?

Your faith causes you to believe that what you read in the Bible is the gospel, as it were, despite the absence of scientific proof.

Absolutlely false. I can prove that Pompeii and Herculenium were destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. That happened 2000 years ago and unlike the claims made in the Bible, we have scientific proof that it happened.

For the record, I too, believe that an incarnation of God walked the Earth in the form of Jesus, but I'm not so arrogant as to claim that what is described in the Bible is scientific proof of his divinity.

That's not how God works. His proof is very un-scientific and can only be found in the hearts of the faithful.

Of course I have "scientific" proof. Why would I have faith in something without evidence?
