Archeologists do not confirm the existence of a God or gods. There is no reason to doubt that the places, towns, cities mentioned in the bible existed. It's the supernatural element that is questionable.
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.
I'm not trying to convince you, I know that's not going to happen by my efforts. Just stating that the survival of the Jewish people and the retaking of Israel after almost 2000 years along with them becoming a military and economic superpower is enough circumstantial evidence for me. God bless you.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
