Not any higher deity, Christian God and Jesus' divinity. Can you prove them?

I recommend The Case for Christ written by Lee Strobel. He was an atheist until he researched about Jesus and the authenticity of the Bible.
Can we use math in proving the existence of God? Actually, yes we can. God has provided the proof through prophecy. No other "holy book" can provide prophecy beside the Bible, and it is the Bible that declares a Creator God.
Dr. Peter Stoner (in an analysis that was carefully reviewed and pronounced to be sound by the American Scientific Affiliation) states that the probability of just eight prophecies being fulfilled in just one person is 1 in 10 to the 17th power. However, Jesus fuflilled 300 specific prophecies. So, mathematically, the odds are in overwhelming favor of the Creator God written in the pages of the Bible rather than in the overwhelming odds against evolution.

Christians can't try and prove his existence without using the bible but because few of them are aware of philosophy they don't know that. Divine revelations rely on holy scripture-there are no other proofs.

Not any means independent of the bible. Sort of like writing a book about flying cows and claiming that the existance of the book proves that cows fly.

There is currently no proof available anywhere. There is significant evidence for many things, but there is no proof.
