No, it was not proven at the time of publication, any more than the prophecies of Jesus' birth/death were.
Yes it was... Do you deny that the christian bible was mocked at the time of publication?

You only want me to be right about God if he is a God that will fit into your own logic and reasoning. My God will never do that. He is too BIG.
K fine then whatever, I don't actually believe you though since you're bothering to engage me with rational thoughts...

You are willfully forgetting that God demands your faith not your reasoning.
You are willfully forgetting this:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart , and lean not on your own understanding"
Actually I can't be willfully forgetting that considering I never really knew that to be true.. I've heard what appear to be different views from various christian theological sources but maybe it can all be reconciled somehow.
All I know is that God is demanding something very silly, if we go trusting in things 'with all our heart' then how are we to know if it's right? Our hearts lead us astray rather more easily than good reasoning ever could... Surely you know that people of other religions believe they're following their heart, right?

Enteebee , you will never stop picking at the flaws in my grammer , logic , reasoning....and you will always find alot of that
I'm just doing what I do for every other question in my life, if there is some inate 'listen to your heart' part of a human which leads them to the bible I am definately open to it, but it just doesn't seem to be there in me.

I dont know where you are going to find a God that fits your idea of what a God should be
I have no idea exactly what a god SHOULD be... I'd be very happy with one that allows us an afterlife etc, but tbh I just want to know the truth as best I can.

I think the way you are going you will never find him - i am fairly confident that you will come to the conclusion that you are your own god.
Well that's very sad if there is a God and I'll never find him, because I honestly do with all my heart, more than anything in the world... truly want you to be right. I don't think I'm my own God at all, my effect is very minimal.
