I'm going to say the survival of the Jewish people as a separate entity and the miraculous reestablishment of the nation of Israel is proof enough for me. Their victory in the 1948 war should be enough for anyone to believe in divine intervention. ..


None of what you say proves the supernatural
acts of Jesus in scripture as being true...you
yourself even attribute Paul's alleged experience
on the road to Emmaus to schizophrenia.

Exactly how is victory in the war and the 1948
establishment of Israel a supernatural act?

War historians still debate reasons for the outcome
of the war , rationally putting forward their case, and
they seem quite reasonable without requiring one to
resort to wacko claims.

Without caring to exhaust any reasonable rational
explanations , one can easily claim divine intervention
for a number military conflict outcomes throughout
history just like some victors have done.

Looking at the list of successful invasions/takeovers
of Jewish lands through millenia, it becomes rather
apparent that God wasn't at all keen on intervening
on behalf of his chosen people.
