Talking snake, men living in fish for 3 days, the sun stopping in the sky for 3 hours (with no other culture on the planet reporting such an event), many holy men coming out of their graves and walking around Jerusalem, healing leprosy with birds blood, striped rods causing sheep to be born with stripes, dragons inhabiting Babylon....

Should I go on?

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
