So much visible proof that your education is lacking.
Anyone who inserts the word 'like' (or in your case 'likes') into a sentence for no grammatical reason has to be appreciably dimmer than required.
How can you suggest that an ancient collection of memoirs, of very doubtful veracity, that has been altered over time so much that it bears very little relevance to any original, AND the fact that most of those stories were borrowed from earlier religions in the first place, be any PROOF at all that any god exists.
To believe so is so simple-minded as to verge upon the criminally-insane.

Why is it that so many religionists are so terrible at spelling? I'm not talking about simple typos or ESL people here, I mean outright bad spelling and bad grammar. I try not to form the opinion that religion=uneducated because I think there are decent folks at all levels of intelligence and understanding, but these bad spellers keep shoving my face in it. You talk about proof--start by proofing your sentence.
Oh, this is satire. How did I ever miss it?

No it is not, it is called circular reasoning to think that god exist because it is in the bible.

Thanks for your point of information, but it's not going to win the hearts of many people. Try citing down some bible verses that geographically connect, or something like that. Apart from what everyone else seems to be saying, you're on to something. It just needs to be more developed.

faith is what drives religious beliefs - faith that good deeds and donations and intentions are rewarded in some extension of life when eyes close and darkness envelops. humans are a biological phenomenon of the universe - the beauty of creation that occurred organically, not spiritually. fear breeds hope, but bravery leads to acceptance. before and after, there is nothingness.

Is this proof ... ???
One day little Johnny goes into the kitchen and says to his mom, "Mom, grandma's got her shrimps hanging out again."
Knowing that the grandma is going a little senile in her old age, mom goes out into the living room and finds grandma sitting in her lazy-boy with her dress up and her panties around her ankles.
Not knowing how she is going to explain this to her son, the mom goes back into the kitchen and says to little Johnny, " Honey, those aren't shrimps. They are part of the vagina which is the female reproductive organ on a woman, just like the penis is for a man."
Little Johnny replies, "Well whatever you say mom but they sure taste like shrimps to me!"

So, by your reasoning, if we look at Grimm's fairy tales, that proves there is a talking wolf that cross dresses in grandma's clothes?
I think we need to think more critically.

No silly. God comes down on earth every 345 days. And only if they are Tuesdays. Didn't he come and say hello to you?

A clarification first. If my boss sent me a memo asking me to design a project, and I found out that it was actually written by his secretary's assistant, should I ignore it or fulfill it? Is it the word of my boss or a lowly temp? God is the Author of the Bible--yes, this can be proven. Written by underlings? Definitely. Should it be obeyed, or ignored? Is it truly God's Word, or the writings of mere man? Let's explore that.
If you want extensive proof, you would have to read one or both of the following books.

However, as a brief surmise to your question, for me the Bible being the Word of God can be proved through the vehicle of prophecy. To see the evidence of this, we must first establish the fact that God is a spirit who dwells outside of our physical time domain--that is, in eternity. In the Bible, God describes Himself in Isaiah 57:15,
"For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: 'I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit.'"
If God dwells in the realm of eternity as the Bible states, then He must be able to declare future events as if they had happened in the past. We who live in the physical restraints of time and space have the disadvantage of seeing the world according to a timeline. But God sees the past and the future as one complete picture.
"Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure,'" Isaiah 46:9-10
So through the vehicle of prophecy, God throws down the gauntlet to all the other "holy books" and all the other "gods" that dare to claim the title. The God of the Bible challenged in Isaiah 41:22-23,
"Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; let them show the former things, what they were, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare to us things to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; yes, do good or do evil, that we may be dismayed and see it together."
OK, there is the challenge from the God of the Bible. No other book contains prophecy that has been fulfilled with accuracy. Some would say that others twist scripture interpretation to make prophecy "appear" to be fulfilled. A silly notion, seeing that so many of these prophecies (that were fulfilled to the letter) were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls--written many years before fulfillment. I have written one study based on one chapter in Daniel. In it can be found 16 in-depth prophecies regarding the rise of Alexander the Great and the subsequent rule of his generals afterward. I have paralleled the prophecy with the fulfillment from historic literature. You can find the study here http://www.schneblin.com/studies/pdfs/literal_fulfillment.pdf
This study only covers one chapter. There are hundreds more regarding the coming of the Messiah, the calling of Cyrus the Mead by name to allow the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem, and the re-establishment of the nation of Israel.
Note that an event like this has never happened before in all of history. In fact, Robert Anderson who was the inspector for Scotland Yard (who almost caught Jack the Ripper) took the book of Daniel as providing the date Messiah was to come. His incredible calculations pinpointed the DAY Jesus rode in to Jerusalem. For this, he was knighted by Queen Victoria and became Sir Robert Anderson. However, he read other prophesies regarding Israel becoming a nation again and thought that this was WAY too preposterous. No nation, after being conquered and scattered, EVER returned again to form a nation and a people. So it must have had some "allegorical" meaning to it. Well, in 1948, Sir Robert Anderson was proven wrong. Sir Robert Anderson believed the Bible, but his doubt in a wild claim such as Israel becoming a nation was too much for him. THAT is how accurate prophecy is. Before the fulfillment took place, Anderson assumed it was wrong (having lived in the Victorian era pre 1948). He twisted nothing, but assumed it was something else entirely.
Isaiah 34:16
"Search from the book of the LORD, and read: Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall lack her mate. For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them."
2 Peter 1:16-21 (condensed)
For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty...and so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place...for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
