I am sorry to see you say this my FRiend.
There is abundant proof that the Scriptures are the Word of God if you wish to look at it objectively. Jesus proved he is the Son of God by his resurrection which was witnessed by hundreds. His words when written down would be the Word of God.
The fulfillment of OT prophecy in the NT is another measure of the inspired writings. There is no way so many different writers could accurately predict future events that occurred hundreds of years later if they were not being directed by God.
Finally, the ability to perform miracles during the Apostolic Era was evidence of the Holy Spirit guiding these individuals and their close relationship to Jesus Christ, or Apostles called out by Jesus, adds to the veracity of their writings being "GOD BREATHED".
First, no one can prove anything by "wishing it." One does not start with a desire to prove, but to discover the truth, leaving the answer to uncertainty until it is clear that it is one way or another.
There is nothing objective to this issue, but I appreciate that to many people the scriptures are "objective" based on their a priori accepted personal "truths."

That "proof" is based on the scriptures "proving" scriptures. This is like me verifying that I am who I say I am. Trust me, I am. :)

Most of these "prophesies" are concoctions of different and most often unrelated biblical verses plucked out because they suited the author's intention and written retrospectively (after the fact); others are simply read into.

That might be so if there were true. Unfortunately, biblical analysis shows that it is not so.

Biblical miracles "verified" by the Bible! Back to the scriptures being their own proof. Catholic Church claims many miracles (hundreds of people have been sainted for that reason). By your logic, you should be Catholic. There are "eyewitnesses" to Marian apparitions. There is Lourdes whose walls are studded with crutches of people who came there paralyzed and walked away from it cured!
If miracles of Jesus Christ and His Apostles were not enough to convert the whole world, what makes you think blind faith would?
People who wrote the books of the bible were moved by God (inspired by God) as one is inspired by love, sadness, joy, etc. to express one's feelings in a book,sculpture, music, poem, etc. There is nothing about being "inspired" as a proof of veracity of anything.
