amen the bible was written by eyewitnesses to Jesus
just like history books, the events happened and were recorded... if you doubt the bible you have to doubt all books, history books, basically every book can one day 2000 years from now be viewed as not proof of anything and be claimed that none of it happened
There is no way to verify the events really happened.
There are no extra-biblical accounts of Jesus from the time of his death or life, the nearest writing is somewhere between 80-200 years after his death--according to scholars.
And yes, we don't just believe something is true because it's in a book from 2000 years ago.

You really want physical and tangible proof? Book a Flight to Israel and travel to Jerusalem. Travel to modern day Bethlehem. Go to Museums where they have the original transcripts. Are you willing to do all of that?
Transcripts would not be physical and tangible proof.
A transcript proves nothing.

Why not? The Grand Canyon could have only been formed by the Great Flood and there's only one recorded place of such an event.
The Grand Canyon exposes nearly 2 billion years of Earth's geological history. The rock layers visible in the canyon walls are sedimentary, including limestone, sandstone, and shale.
These layers were deposited over millions of years in various environments, such as ancient seas, deserts, and swamps, before being uplifted and exposed by erosion.
We can see distinct different time periods in the grand canyon. It's formation happened over millions of years.

Radiometric dating of rocks and minerals within the canyon has provided consistent ages for the different layers, ranging from about 2 billion years old at the bottom to about 270 million years old at the top.
These dates align with the geological time scale and indicate that the formation of the Grand Canyon involved processes occurring over a vast span of time, not a brief, catastrophic event.
Fossils found in the canyon’s rock layers represent a progression of life forms over hundreds of millions of years. This gradual change in fossil assemblages supports a long history of sedimentation rather than deposition by a single flood.
The grand canyon formed many millions of years before men wrote a book about a man named Jesus. Maybe Jesus existed, maybe he didn't. No one really knows, but we do know that the flood in the bible can't account for the fossils for the grand canyon because there are fossils from hundreds of millions of years ago, and radiometric dating tells us that at the lowest parts is billions of years old, to the top being hundreds of millions of years old. The canyon formed long before the bible says the flood happened.
Do you deny the paleontology and geology is correct?
