Prove it to me

Someone asked an interesting question last Fri morning. What if somehow we had absolute proof that the bible was just another book? That many of the stories were fabrications? That the miracles professed in the old and new testament never happened? Would such a revelation change the way we live? Would we suddenly turn to a life of sin - lie, cheat, steal, abuse drugs, murder? The conclusion was that most people are basically good. We are in many ways wired to live decent law abiding lives.
Another interesting question - what if we discovered proof without a shadow of doubt that the bible was true? What effect would that have on the way we lived? I'll admit, without such undeniable evidence, there have been times in my Christian journey when I have been skeptical. For example, I struggle when it comes to the miracles of the old and new testament. I sometimes wonder what my life might be like if i had scientific evidence that these miracles did happen. I convince myself that if i learned of evidence to the the absolute truth to some of these fundamental stories of the Christian faith, it would result in drastic change to the way i live my life. However, i have to wonder - would such a revelation really have that much effect on me? I'd argue that man is an incredibly forgetful species.
Lets be honest, when our eulogy is read, we all want something more than "he was the best salesman/engineer in the company" or "he attained more billable hours than anyone." Then why do I spend so much time chasing these types of worldly goals? It takes tremendous faith to align myself with a more eternal agenda.
