Why did we shift from trying to find evidence that events in the bible actually happened to simply trying to show that they were merely possible?

What? The question is: how can you honestly believe it. The implication is that it is as unbelievable as a common fairy tale.

What is the point in trying to prove, for example, that the parting of the Red Sea is physically possible? If you postulate that an omnipotent god was behind it, you don't need show that it could also have happened spontaneously as a weather phenomenon.

Many fictional works are entirely possible. That is not a reason to believe.
