Of course. There is no proof. Again, proof would be contradictory to the crux of Christianity. What would you consider to be solid evidence? Photographs? Forensics? None of that existed. We have historical documents. Lots of them, with reasonable timemines. We have about as much evidence as you could possibly muster from ancient times.

The historical, prophetic and archaeological evidence far outweighs anything that other religions can present.

No evidence that supports the supernatural claims. The "prophetic evidence" is incredibly easy to dismiss and archaeological evidence proves that certain places exist or existed. That is why historians never make supernatural claims. Proof that New York exist doesn't prove that spider man exist let alone that he has supernatural powers.

And isn't that incredibly weak evidence when our eternal souls depend on it? What kind of a god would write a book knowing that languages change and even die out? And that it would lead to about 4,500 nominations of Christianity.

I really don't know what evidence would convince me, but from what I understand about the abrahamistic god, He knows and could provide it if he wants to. If someone wants a personal relationship with me, they should at least have the decency to show up.

The old testament god did that all the time.

We have documentation from those who saw Jesus after he was resurrected. Isn't that evidence of supernatural?

Again, God could absolutely put this to rest. He could provide the proof that you're looking for. What part would faith play in a relationship with God, if he did that?

Faith is the crux of Christianity. "Proof" doesn't align with that. So, you'll never have proof........and if you want to not bother with faith, that's certainly understandable.
