Falsifying God? (Agnosticism)

So, let me rephrase this in a slightly different way:-
If I came to you with a hypothesis on cellular intelligence (which you can not "See"), and that hypothesis proved correct on every single prediction that was ever recorded, as far as our sciences could detect, and was historically without blemish as far as our sciences could detect, AND continued to prove accurate for predictions as they occurred:-
Would you discard the elements of the hypothesis that you could not see, or that you could not prove, simply because they haven't been proven yet?-
You see, this is the issue that I have, and the double standard that I see applied virtually everywhere. In terms of historical accuracy, accuracy of predictions that are verifiable, and accuracy of predictions that continue to occur, the bible has no rival. Not in religious texts, not in scientific texts, and not in historical texts. Yet, you give more credibility to flights of fancy and random chance than you do to the Theory that has been proven more times throughout human history than any other.-The bibles theory postulates God. The bible has not verifiably failed, not even once. Every single time someone has thought they found an error, it was they who were, in time, proven to have made the error. Yet, you give it less credence than you would give virtually anything else.-And this then, is the truth of it: (Luke 16:31) "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead." --Now here is a simple question for you. Christ performed miracles in front of thousands, and ascended in front of more than 500 people, most of which were later tortured to death for their beliefs in the most horrifying ways possible. Why would these people knowingly and willingly have gone to their death for something that they KNEW was a lie? If they hadn't seen it, would they have died for the lie? -This wasn't some hundreds of years later after being indoctrinated into anything. These were people that lived, and walked, and spoke with Christ, who didn't even have the bible in its current form yet. Even non-christians said he went around performing miracles.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
