Goodness gracious Whatevs, that would take an appreciation and understanding of art, hell...they might have to fucking learn something! They'd prefer to consider the OT a crystal ball propheysing some jesus...than to realize that it's one of the most detailed sociopolitical commentaries of antiquity, even if it gets some dates and details wrong.
@OP. The bible, ot and nt, make falsifiable claims. Many of the miracles therein are examples of those claims. If/when we apply the scientific method to a claim and it is ruled out on the basis of the testable portion that's as close to "proving" as science gets. We could always have the science wrong, or it may be that every piece of available evidence just makes it -look- like some event "x" never took place or couldn't take place...but both of those propositions are rationally useless objections. Hidden miracles aren't very miraculous, and someone else being wrong about everything won't make you right about anything.
