The real religion?

[bennyboy]

Regarding the list of what you want to see, you are just repeating an old tired objection that in reality had we had those things, they would be challenged under the standard fair atheist arguments like "hearsay, eyewitnesses are not reliable, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". The real problem is the atheist presupposition that God does not exist and miracles do not happen and therefore the content of the NT can never be true no matter what piece of "evidence" turns up.

You know what would put all this to rest, right away? God bothering to show up today, and to work the same wonders He did 2000 years ago. Is God dead? If not, demonstrate that he has a non-zero degree of interaction with the world today-- beyond of course, how fantastic people claim they feel when they hold hands and pray, or their claims that God helped them score a touchdown or whatever.

Here's a hint-- if you need to go back to 2000 year-old texts to demonstrate the existence of something which is eternal, either it doesn't exist, or you're doing it wrong.
