These are some great arguments, but what about arguments from the historical perspective, such as the life of Jesus, or how about ways supernatural forces have revealed itself to us in the form of miracles and exorcisms?

The teaching of Jesus in itself is evidence of unsurpassed spiritual and moral insight. The fact that it was reflected in His life and death is sufficient to convince any unbiased person that His kingdom is not of this world. Even today people reject the precept to love our enemies as absurd but it is the fundamental condition of promoting peace and ending the cycle of violence.

At least a handful of apologists (e.g. WL Craig, G Habermas, R Swinburne) have attempted to show that we may infer Jesus was raised based in large part on historical evidence. However, those attempts invariably fail, and historians in general have not accepted their arguments.

As for miracle claims, if they can withstand skeptical inquiry, then great, but thus far none have.

The world would be a radically different place if it were possible to objectively demonstrate the existence of God.

That depends a great deal on the nature of the proof. For example, if we could only prove a very generic God concept, then reactions would differ much from those to a proof of a particular religion, e.g. Catholicism.

Furthermore, if the proof was easy to understand, then it would become very well-known, whereas if it were difficult, then it would open a new field of specialist inquiry to which the laity could appeal.
