I'm afraid that they do not prove the existence of God. All they prove is that you have had experiences which have led you to believe in God.
People have been having experiences throughout the history of humanity. I'm very sure that an ancient norse could have claimed that he had had experiences that prove the existence of Thor.
Quote:As for the full accuracy of the entire bible I don't believe it is perfect, nor the 100% revealed will of God. Yet there is enough truth in it to call it that for the sake of ignoring other peoples experiences with God recorded in text. It is safer to say something happened than it did not. As an example Jesus quotes parts of genesis so he must at least have thought it was accurate enough to quote from.
It is certainly not safer to say that something happened than it did not.
There is no evidence the Jesus ever actually existed outside the bible. For example, the Romans, who where prolific record keepers seemed to have not noticed him at all. This doesn't mean that he didn't exist in some form or another but without evidence to back up a thoery it simply remains a theory.
Just because something is written in the bible does not mean that it is true unless you can back it up using external sources.
