Seeming impossible isn't the same as being impossible.
Biblical miracles can't be used as evidence because they're second hand accounts of events that happened decades before the authors wrote about them. Ever play the phone game as a kid? Stories change with the telling? Imagine what happens when trying to write a book based on decades of oral history.
Witnessing miracles might be interesting. What kind of miracles. Is there proof? Video tape, hospital records, that sort of thing?
See the miracles part; it's easy to write things in a way that fulfill prophecies if you go read the prophecies before you write it. (this prophecy thing is a huge topic, but I've yet to see any prophecy and fulfillment that can only be explained by prophecy and fulfillment).
Argument from personal incredulity; just because you think it's unlikely doesn't mean it is.
This is only evidence for God if God is the only possible source of this understanding. Society and genetics are also possible sources.
[b]- If you look at Jesus' life, you could conclude he was either A) insane, B) a liar, or C) who He claimed to be. Most people would agree that He gave no indication of the first two.

Why are those the only three options? And why would you claim to know enough about Jesus' life to be able to make those the three options? Jesus left no writings of his own.[/quote]
it's only proof if you want to believe. try it.
you have never witnessed something you thought to be a miracle?
