The proof that they seek is that in which cannot be proven by anything tangible in their eyes (besides the Bible... but that's been dismissed). The only other proof is that of their own personal faith... but of course, that can't be proven from one person to another... afterall... its "personal" + "faith"
My assumption of most people here is that they've not done a true in-depth study of the Bible and it's information but rather a general or broad overview of the origins of Christianity and perhaps other religions. So to actually use the Bible as a reference is null and void to many here, being that its just a "story book full of contradictions" to them. (not calling anyone dumb or unintelligent by any means, quite the contrary) but the things we accept as truths are relevant from one person to another. (ie: what's true for me may not be true for you... so on and so forth)
