If the bible 'claims' that if you do A, B, C and you will find 'X' the finding of 'X' (for over 2000 years) is then proof the bible is accurate.
If one were to closly follow the A, B, C, instructions and find nothing then the bible would have been discarded long before now.
OK, this is some of the faultiest logic it is possible to advance. Take this analogy. I claim that if you wipe your ass with silk before you go training, you will run faster. If you run faster then LO! I have proved that using silk to wipe your as speeds you up!
This, of course, is utter shite. If you do X and then Y happens this does not mean that X causes Y. If you applied this to the world then people would start thinking that not going to Church last Sunday caused an earthquake.... oh wait a minute......
If you want to prove that your A, B and C causes X then you need to conduct a study. I would suggest a double blind experiment, with a large number of subjects(people taking part), over a long time-scale. Until you have done this, it has been peer reviewed and subjected to a rigorous standard of evidence I will happily grant you your claim. And as a result I would probably become a Christian just like you!
in other news, there have been purple flying pigs spotted chasing the translucent unicorn to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
