Many agree there is an absolute truth outside of our Perception, where there is no bias. I'm not forcing my beliefs, but consider this... The chances of Jesus fullfilling just 48 old test. prophecies is a staggering 1 in 10^157! (There's 10^79 electrons in the whole universe!) For this mind-bending reason--Jesus is the truth> New Testament is 99.5% accurate from the original! ( for spelling mistakes, and synonyms) No other religious figure could do what Jesus did in their scriptures. Theres plenty evidence, wut do u think>

Very correct in your conclusion. Even those in Jesus time with all the proofs they had still did not believe in Him and a lot of those that did, did not want to admit it as they would be counted as His followers and maybe lose their important job. Same today with all the evidence, many will not believe if a building were to fall on them to show that was truth. The extra personal truth is that Jesus is a personal Saviour that knocks at each of our hearts and we have to but let Him in or not.

This figure relies on poor application of statistics. I will admit that if I was to choose a single random person, the chances of them fulfilling any 8 specific prophecies is incredibly low. I can't be bothered to do the math. However in the case of Jesus it is important to remember that he would definitely be aware of the prophecies he had to fulfill to be called the messiah. The probability of Jesus fulfilling the prophecies therefore becomes a lot higher as he was probably trying to fulfill them.
Nice try though.

I think your use of the word ''evidence" relies on a very loose definition of the word.
There is no credible, objectively verifiable evidence of any kind to support any of the bible stories, including the Jesus myths.
"Faith" and "belief" are not credible evidence that supports the underlying claim about what is believed.
