Here's one site, but there's a ton of others. This is not proof, but it's supporting evidence.
There's plenty of evidence that the Bible got things wrong historically and archeologically. Both in the NT and the OT.
Quote: There's also no proof that the bible is a lie.
There are other choices besides the Bible is a lie and it is entirely truthful.
For example, it is possible that the writers believed that they were recording the truth, but they were actually recording legend.
The fact that the Bible gets some things historically correct, does not offer a shred of evidence that any of the supernatural god stories are true.
The Hindu Vedas and the Koran get many things correct, historically. But yet you do not believe any of the supernatural stories in them.
You are making special exceptions for the religious text you believe, that you reject for others.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
