sure, the bible may be corroborated and proven to be true, but this would be purely as a relationship between the archaeological finds and the bible as a historical source, which when viewed in the context of other sources of the time, is not always corroborated.
but in relation to the actual existence of god, a piece of used toilet paper is a fair equivalent.

I am sure there are many things that can be proven in religion ...
but none of which prove there is a God and none of which prove that religion is the correct or only religion

religion is easy - we are living in a world created on the structure of religion, proving that god exists and that if he does he is good is another question entirely.

If 'prove' means 'show conclusively that it is true', then probably not.
If 'prove' means 'test it, and see if can be shown either to work or not to work', then perhaps yes.
But then I doubt that anyone here is interested in this kind of answer. They just want to air their prejudices, and try and do down those who think otherwise.

Plenty of things in the Bible have been backed up by modern archeology, but that still doesn't mean that Christianity is 'true' and that god exists.

Religion is a set of rules.
Spirituality is the truth and that is where everything is from good to evil.
Jesus was crucified by the religious hierarchy
