I'd like to expand on my response to this. You are attempting to shift burden of proof here. I do NOT need a verified alternative explanation for any of the supernatural claims made within the pages of the Bible in order to reject them. No one is obligated to offer defeaters. A jury deliberating over a man accused of murder does not need to know who the actual murderer is in order to reach a verdict of "not guilty." All they need is reasonable doubt.
"The claims in my book are true because the characters in my book claim that they're true," is, at best, a circular argument no matter how you slice it. You're right, Steve. The Bible IS evidence of something. It's evidence of the claims. But, that doesn't tell us very much now, does it?
