> you had a dude following a God for years, witnessing extreme miracles and still the guy had doubts

The COVID years have inoculated me against that line of thinking (pun intended). If people would deny that the bodies piling up in hospitals are conclusive evidence of something more than "just a flu" then I can totally imagine an individual seeing a miracle and arguing "dunno, maybe he was just a little dead". And I've definitely seen people take money to argue in favor of policies they know to be false, harmful, or both.

The problem is that the people you're trying to convince do not have firsthand experience of bodies piling up in hospitals.
Well, some of them did. There were a surprising number of doctors and other health-care workers among the Covid/vaccine-sceptics.
