I don’t know if we should get into a discussion about what proof is however I would like to give you some food for thought. If the Christian God is real then everything in the universe is “proof” of his existence. If the Christian God is real and the bible is the accurate account of the Christian God then the bible is, without question, proof of the Christian God. The proofs are in the form of eye witness testimony.

WOW! Do you know what you’ve done? You’ve proved, without a doubt, the actual existence of the christian god, IF he is real!
Well, if you replace "the Christian God" with "Krishna," and "bible" with "Vedas," your assumption-based argument still works just as well.
This amuses me so much.
First, you have only stated that God is true if he is true.
So... in order to prove that God exists, we must first assume that he exists?
You spin me right round baby right round,
(A AND B)->A
I really can't argue with that logic.
I can, however, question the point of it.

“If the Christian God is real"
“and the bible is the accurate account of the Christian God”
“ then the bible is, without question, proof of the Christian God.”
“The proofs are in the form of eye witness testimony.”
"If <false premise>, then <false conclusion>, if so, <disposable 2nd level false-premise-dependent argument>".
This is also a circular argument. It also appeals to false authorities, like ancient humain claims.
Human brains and testimony are notoriously unreliable. This is where the scientific method makes a difference, it takes human fallacies into account with techniques. It also derives conclusions from evidence, instead of imposing a conclusion and trying to find justifications with cherry picking and confirmation bias.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
