Revelation, the Bible isn't proof of anything. It's a book that is used to indoctrinate people to believing things that have no proof. Faith is not about proof, really. When I was a Christian, I invested time like you, trying to get people to see my points. But, truth is...the Bible is only relevant to a believer. You believe that a god exists, because the Bible states it. You have been indoctrinated to believe this, at some point in your life. Like many of us, myself included, I was indoctrinated into religion as a kid. But, a few years ago, I decided to look into things more objectively.
The Bible isn't proof of anything. It's just a book that you use as a crutch to justify why you believe what you do. It's not a historical account of anything, although there are places and events that did happen in the Bible, serving as backdrops for the fairy tale stories that are depicted throughout. But, barring that, the Bible isn't evidence of anything. At best, it was mankind's way of explaining what it didn't understand about the universe and mankind. At the worst, it's all just a lie.
I choose to think it's something in between.
