Yes, Cowperson, I have read the link you provided. No need to riposte (haha)
I have met Jesus in my life, he is as real to me as you are (then again, I have never seen you, so you may not really exist) There is a first hand account that your link says doesn't exist.
His presence is felt with your spirit (heart) not your mind
I realize this is wholly unsatisfactory to you, but it is all I have.
I don't know, maybe if you seriously ask him to prove to you that he is real, he just might.

I don't think that's a cop out at all. Faith is absolutely required; so good on ya.
I personally believe that if there was final proof one way or another that God exists, then there would be no point in free will: the choice would be an obvious one so why let us have to decide in the first place? I think this argument was heading down that path.
As for the judge in this case, what a tool. It's kinda like a judge requiring the Crown to prove the Theory of Gravity in a case where the accused allegedly dropped a piano on the victim (considering scientific theories are naturally unprovable).
