Bibleman, while I am on the same page.. Your rock solid case is not as good as you think it is. Please study more before you challenge someone to refute the truths of Christianity. You make us all look silly, and run the risk of having your faith shaken or shattered.
There are spiritual gifts given to every Christ follower, you said that everyone can heal the blind and lame, which is not entirely accurate. While anyone can pray for their healing, those with the spiritual gift of miracles or healing have a much better chance of this than just anyone.
Every Christ follower receives at least one, sometimes more, but never ALL of the spiritual gifts from the Holy Spirit. Also, these gifts are not fully developed at the time they are given, they must be cultivated.
While your heart is in the right place, your method is lacking. There is still hope for the non believers. Look at Lee Stroebel, he was a long time atheist, who after much study discovered the truth, now he has numerous Christian books.
I appreciate the effort you have made, and encourage you to further your studies so that you may present stronger evidence in the future. In the meantime, I pray that not everyone will take your writing as the basis of our beliefs as a Christian community. Not because what you say is wrong, but rather because it is not enough to prove anything to someone who doesn't believe.
Good luck, and God Bless!

1 - The only 'miracles' in life is the ones people create for themselves through effort and hard work.
2 - A nice bit of BS. Theology is theology. Science is completely different. Science is a flexible tool for explaining natural phenomena. Theology is an inflexible belief - believe or else.
3. - How do you know the 'witnesses' weren't on some ancient plant similar to peyote? You don't.
4 - Anyone can say a prediction is fulfilled. Prophecy can be self fulfilling. All you have to do is take a seemingly innocent event and point your finger and say there it is.
5 - "No contradictions in Bible. The contradictions are just apparent." You do realize the word apparent means "readily visible, clear or obvious." You have just contradicted yourself; just like the book does.

"They shouldn't be interpreted literally"
If that the case then how do you know which parts are literal and which parts are figurative?
What was the last big miracle to happen, and where were the video cameras?
"All the science and technology is actually derived from Bible"
Was the computer derived from the bible, how about open heart surgery? And what about the theory of evolution?
How come priests don't spend more time healing people? Why does anyone dies of a disease if all you have to do is find a person with jesus in their heart? Does this mean that any doctor whose patient has died didn't have jesus in his heart?

Ok! I'll take a crack at it...
Prove where this is happening today: "(1) Just believe that Jesus is your Lord and Saviour and you will see
miracles start to happen. You will be given anything that you ask in prayer. You will be able to make a blind and lame person completely ok--just by utttering the name of our Lord Jesus. You will feel the Holy Spirit inside you who will guide you always precisely."
AND if it's so simple, why isn't everyone going to this place/person to get themselves healed? Why is there so many broken bodies, which leads to broken spirits?

1.) You proof is flawed if the conclusion is also a premise.
2.) Science and technology are most certainly not derived from the Bible? Where did you get his idea?
3.) There were witnesses to David Copperfield's "miracles." People give their lives for many other religions.
4.) Saying that something will happen is not proof
5.) At this point I'm beginning to think you were being facetious.

1) Funnnnnnyyyyyyyy. You're telling me that there're no blind Christians and no Christians with a handicap ? No unhappy Christians ?
2) What bible are you reading ? Or better, what are you smoking while you're reading your chemistry book ?
3) Yeah, how can they ? Nobody EVER gives their life for something false. I guess all the soldiers in wars, on both sides, were always right ?
4) ? You're predicting the future as well ?
5) You ARE a contradiction.

None of this is true! Faith is not proof, it essentially comes down to opinion. Also, many "martyrs" for Christianity were pagan dieties that Christianity incorporated because they couldn't get rid of tem, and therefore aren't true and never existed. And I sseriously doubt all technology and science is derived from the Bible. Prove *that* or at least give examples! And there are conradictions in the Bible.

None of you exist. You are only a dream, perhaps the figment
of a very vivid imagination, but never-the-less, you are only a
dream.
Prove THAT wrong.
Indeed, it is a far simpler theory of existence with far fewer
apparent contradictions than those you refer to above.
By the way - which Bible are you referring to? There have
been so many - and some completely disagree with others
over important details. The errors are probably due to
translation, but does the Lord's word suffer badly under
translation?

"You will be given anything that you ask in prayer."
Then how come many sick Christian's that pray to get well end up dying due to that very sickness? I don't even have to go on to 2, 3, 4, or 5.
You should read over every answer you have received, your doing a good job of making your fellow Christians look bad.
