Perhaps you are struggling with the term "Bible". There are five written documents (gospels+acts). I chose to believe these accounts because they are describing actual events--not because they claim any special consideration (like inspiration) -- because they don't.
There is no evidence that these are actual events. Your Gospels and Acts are the claim, not the evidence.
Evidence for those claims must be external to the Gospels and Acts.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
