Aha!

Logic and reason.

Puts my childish sarcasm to shame.

You don't seem to understand. The burden of proof is on the one who claims something. You claim there is a god, you must prove it. We have no responsibility to prove there isn't. Can you prove that little green leprechauns are not at the end of rainbows with pots of gold?

Its pointless for me to try and show you any evidence because you all could care less what i have to say. You have the presupposition that no evidence exists and thus any i present is thrown out as false.

I already listed links to charts on the accuracy of the Bible compare to many other historical books, the Bible made scientific discoveres of our world and universe before the science to study it even existed. Ive shown you the many prophecies stated in the Old testament that happened exactly in the New testament after the prophets were long dead. You have tons of eye witness testimony in the Bible but you throw it out as invalid even though its admissable in court. The Bible has also had the greatest impact of humanity of any book ever written yet thats meaningless. Out of like 50 authors of the Bible - most of them not even being alive at the same time write about the same accounts as other authors. Two authors speak of the same things each from different time periods, yet their info has mostly the same themes. Archeologist have found tombs, places, events, exactly as the Bible depicted 2000 years ago, even Archeologists are now saying they are having a hard to refuting the accuracy of the Bible with their findings. I could continue but you get the point.

Atheists completely dismiss ALL of that and say its all false. So apparently even with the evidence, none exists that will satisfy any closed minded person to the possibility of God.

You seem to confuse the historical aspects of the bible with the "divine and inspired therefore God exists" aspects. Yes, the bible was written about actual places and some actual people and events that happened in history. Finding evidence to support that is not some miracle that proves the whole bible is God Given Truth, any more than the finding of Troy tells us that greek mythology was true. You need to learn how to discern what is true history and what is story telling. You also need to realize that your so called eyewitness testimony is not, it was all written well after the fact, which does not make it eyewitness. And does it not occur to you that two authors writing from different time periods, yet having the same theme, that perhaps one of them read the other one and used it for inspiration? And those same authors read and knew the OT, and therefore perhaps deliberately wrote their stories to make it appear as though the OT "prohesies" had been verified?

The kind of "evidence" you are providing says only that ancient Hebrews existed and lived a certain way in a certain place. No one disputes that. But it has nothing to do with the existence of their god!
