Just another thought:
Me writing these messages is good evidence that I exist. Of course I could, in theory, come knock on anyone's door, if money and time were no object.
A bloke writing a story containing a character is good evidence that the bloke exists. It's not good evidence that the character he is writing about exists. Or else every story ever written is automatically probably real.
Deep down, people must see this. Intellectually, they must realize the difference between an author and a subject that author is writing about. But the fact that the bible is only evidence that some guy wrote it cannot be allowed into the Christian's mind.
To validate the existence of things within the story, you need independent evidence. And of course, in the case of God, there is none. Not then, and certainly not now. And nothing new, like this very message.
