Are you saying all this evidence is a cleverly-contrived pack of lies? Well then, I declare all mentions of George Washington to be part of a conspiracy, perhaps devised by John Adams (the real first president) to pretend that a much more likeable man was president instead. The motive or the who makes no difference. George Washington was not president until you prove it with evidence I, the skeptic, accept as evidence. You have the burden of proof, my friend. George Washington was not a real man.
These sources deal with the existence of Jesus (a possibility I am willing to accept). Neither prove that Jesus was what he said he was. Neither prove the existence of God.
Also, it's well-known that the New Testament was written after the events it purports to describe, which would make its predictive qualities nonexistent. There is no evidence that the Bible definitely predicted any event, and even if it did, the likely explanation is that the predictions were added long after the events they purport to predict.
