Yeah true. Personally I wouldn't need that proof because back when I was a Christian the fact that I thought the NT was literally history recorded by witnesses was enough for me.
I think this is where atheists don't get it. Saying how stupid some of the supernatural stuff is (like the talking burning bush) doesn't add anything to the discussion. IF Jesus was real then that bush may very well have been burning and talking. God could do anything and you would have to go with it. So I don't blame the xtians for saying atheists are 'ignorant' or whatever because it's sort of true. That's not where the issue lies.
